The WNBA season is officially here, and what better way to tip things off than with a heavyweight showdown? The Phoenix Mercury are heading to Michelob ULTRA Arena to take on the Las Vegas Aces in both teams' season opener. If you're looking for a way to catch every dribble, pass, and buzzer-beater, we've got you covered.
This isn't just any game; it's a rematch of last year's WNBA Finals. The Mercury came into the 2025 season with high hopes, finishing the regular season with a solid 27-17 record under head coach Nate Tibbetts. They battled their way to the Finals, only to be swept 4-0 by the very team they're facing now. Phoenix is hungry for redemption, and they'll be leaning heavily on All-WNBA First-Teamer Alyssa Thomas. Thomas was a triple-double threat every night last season, posting averages of 15.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 9.2 assists. She's the engine that makes this team go.
On the other side of the court, the Las Vegas Aces have built a dynasty. Since 2019, they've reached the WNBA Semifinals every single season and have appeared in the Finals four times, winning three championships in the last four years. Leading the charge is the unstoppable A'ja Wilson, a four-time WNBA MVP. Wilson is coming off yet another dominant season, averaging 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 2.3 blocks. She also took home her third WNBA Defensive Player of the Year award, proving she's a force on both ends of the floor.
This matchup is a clash of titans: the hungry challenger versus the defending champions. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just getting into the game, this is a must-watch. It's the perfect kickoff to what promises to be an exciting WNBA season.
