Las Vegas Aces News Release


LAS VEGAS - Reigning world champion, the Las Vegas Aces today unveiled their 2026 regular season schedule. One of four remaining original league franchises, the Aces will tip off the 30th WNBA season at home against the Phoenix Mercury in a 2025 WNBA Finals rematch. Played at T-Mobile Arena, site of the Aces 2025 championship celebration, the game is scheduled for May 9.

Following its season opener, Las Vegas has a four-game road swing before it welcomes Los Angeles to Michelob ULTRA Arena on May 21 in what is expected to be the Aces 50th consecutive sellout at "The House."

Information on the team's third WNBA Championship ring and banner-raising celebration in four years, as well as the entire season's theme nights and giveaways, will be announced at a later date.

The Aces have sold out their regular season ticket memberships for the third straight year. However, a limited number of tickets for individual games will be available to the public in the coming months. Fans interested in adding their names to receive information on 2026 individual game tickets once it becomes available may do so by visiting the Las Vegas Aces website.
