Phoenix starts the 2026 season in a familiar place, as they are often talented enough to compete every night but have been unable to secure another championship since their magical 2014 run. They went 27-17 during the 2025 regular season under coach Nate Tibbetts and reached the WNBA Finals, but were swept 4-0 by the Aces. They’ll rely heavily on All-WNBA First-Teamer Alyssa Thomas, who averaged 15.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 9.2 assists last season.

The Aces have been a dynasty in the WNBA since 2019, making the WNBA Semifinals every season and reaching the Finals four times, winning it in three of the last four seasons. Las Vegas has four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson leading the way, coming off yet another superb season in which she averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 2.3 blocks, and won her third WNBA Defensive Player of the Year award.

This is a great WNBA matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
