Vancouver sat to host first regular-season WNBA game outside U.S.

The WNBA will hold its first regular-season game played outside the U.S. next season when the Atlanta Dream and Seattle Storm face off at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on August 15. This will be the third WNBA Canada Game, with previous editions in Toronto (2023) and Edmonton (2024) played during the preseason. The league has also played international preseason games in Manchester, England (2011), and Monterrey, Mexico (2004). The game in Vancouver comes ahead of the 2026 debut of the WNBA’s first team in Canada and outside the U.S., the Toronto Tempo. The league will announce ticket information and broadcast details for the game in the coming months (SBJ).
