Get ready for an exciting chapter in the Connecticut Sun's journey! The team's future home is still up in the air, but one thing's for sure: they're back at Mohegan Sun for the 2026 season.
The Sun has released their jam-packed regular-season schedule, featuring 44 games spanning from May to September. And here's where it gets interesting - they're not just sticking to their usual venues. The team will be playing a game at the iconic TD Garden and even venturing into Hartford with a pair of contests at PeoplesBank Arena.
But here's where it gets controversial... there's been talk of a potential move for the Sun. ESPN reported that the Houston Rockets' ownership group was in serious negotiations to buy and relocate the team. And this is the part most people miss - it's not just about the Rockets. Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca made an offer to bring the Sun to Boston, but the WNBA had other plans. The league stepped in, stating that the decision to relocate a team rests with the WNBA Board of Governors, not individual teams.
Connecticut's 24th season kicks off on the road against the New York Liberty, followed by a home opener against the Seattle Storm. The Sun's TD Garden game is set for August 18, continuing their three-year run in Boston. And get this - it's against the Los Angeles Sparks, a match that's sold out for the past two seasons!
The Sun will also bring some excitement to Hartford, with games against the Sparks and the Dallas Wings, featuring former UConn star Paige Beckers.
So, what do you think? Is this a sign of things to come for the Connecticut Sun? Should the team stay put or embrace a new home? Let's discuss in the comments and keep the conversation going!
