CONNECTICUT — The Connecticut Sun are back, and they’re not just playing basketball—they’re staging a full-scale fan takeover of New England. Tickets for the 2026 preseason and regular season home games are officially on sale, and if you’re not in line, you’re already behind. This isn’t hype. This is history in motion.
The Sun open their 2026 campaign at home on Sunday, May 10 against the Seattle Storm. That’s your kickoff, and it’s just the beginning. Two marquee matchups follow immediately: on May 13, the Sun host 2025 WNBA Most Valuable Player A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces, then a rematch against the defending champions on May 15. Fans who think they can just “catch a game” are underestimating what this season is about. The Mohegan Sun Arena will see energy levels that make any other arena in the league look like a rec league gym.
On June 8, the Sun host the New York Liberty in a Commissioner’s Cup showdown featuring seven-time WNBA All-Star Breanna Stewart. This isn’t a game. It’s an event. A litmus test of where the league is going and where stars rise.
The season finale is set for Thursday, September 24 against expansion team Toronto Tempo. This game will be about legacy. It will be about staking territory in a league that’s growing faster than anyone predicted. Every ticket, every cheer, every roar of the crowd matters.
And let’s talk Boston. The Sun return to TD Garden for the third straight season, hosting the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday, August 18 at 7:00 PM ET. Let that sink in. In 2024, the Sun made WNBA history with the first-ever regular-season game in Boston, selling out TD Garden with a record-breaking 19,156 fans. They followed it up with another sellout in 2025. The Connecticut Sun are rewriting the map of women’s professional basketball fandom.
Connecticut isn’t just confined to the coast. The Sun are bringing the action to Hartford with two regular season games at PeoplesBank Arena. On Saturday, May 30 at 6:00 PM ET, they host four-time WNBA All-Star Kelsey Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks. Then on Thursday, July 2 at 8:00 PM ET, the Sun take on 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings. This isn’t just spreading the league’s reach—it’s planting flags across New England to make sure every basketball fan knows where the power is.
Season tickets and partial ticket plans are still available, but these aren’t your standard ticket packages. They offer access to select experiences not available with single-game purchases. This is fan immersion at its peak—hi-five tunnels, on-court games and performances, post-game photo ops with players, and more. Luxury suites put you at the center of the Sun’s orbit.
This is a full-blown fan assault. If you’re serious about basketball in New England, this isn’t optional. Group tickets let you bring the whole crew, live the experience, and be part of something bigger than just a game. Call 1-877-SUN-TIXX or connect with a Connecticut Sun account executive to secure your spot. The window is open, but not for long.
Let’s break it down: this isn’t a team just playing a schedule. This is the Connecticut Sun asserting dominance across venues, across states, and across fan expectations. They’re not waiting for history—they’re making it. First home game, star-studded matchups, national-level showdowns, record-breaking crowds, expanded arenas, charter games in Hartford and Boston—it’s all part of a calculated push to redefine WNBA culture in New England.
The marquee players are loaded, the schedule is designed for maximum impact, and the league’s future is being written in real-time with every ticket sold. Fans who get in early are locking in more than a game—they’re locking in front-row seats to the evolution of women’s professional basketball.
This is the Sun’s season, and every single home game is an event. May 10 is just the start. May 13 and 15 are showdowns. June 8 is a litmus test. August 18 in Boston is history repeating itself in front of thousands. May 30 and July 2 in Hartford expand the territory. September 24 closes out a campaign that’s been about dominance, exposure, and spectacle.
The Connecticut Sun are proving that WNBA basketball can be as big, as bold, and as impactful as any professional sport in the country. And they’re doing it with precision, power, and star talent. Every ticket, every game, every arena is a statement: the Sun aren’t just playing—they’re defining an era.
Mark your calendars, clear your schedules, and prepare to be in the building. This isn’t hype. This is history, and it’s happening right now. The Connecticut Sun are not asking for attention—they’re demanding it. And if you’re not in your seat, you’ll be watching history from the sidelines.
The season opens May 10. The marquee events follow. Ticket plans, luxury suites, partial season options, and group experiences are all live. Call, click, and claim your place. This is Connecticut Sun basketball at its peak, and there’s no excuse for missing it.
The stars are ready: Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Kelsey Plum, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart. The arenas are set: Mohegan Sun Arena, TD Garden, PeoplesBank Arena. The energy will be unmatched. The games will be unforgettable. This is the WNBA in 2026—bigger, bolder, and absolutely unmissable.
Fans beware: history is not patient. Tickets are moving fast, and every matchup is a chance to witness something monumental. Miss it, and you miss the revolution. The Connecticut Sun have arrived, and they’re taking over New England, one sold-out arena at a time.
This season isn’t just a schedule—it’s a movement. It’s the Connecticut Sun staking their claim on the region, the league, and the sport itself. Be there, or be left watching greatness from afar. Every dunk, every three-pointer, every defensive stop, and every buzzer-beater is part of a story that will define the WNBA for years to come.
The message is clear: the Connecticut Sun are in charge, the arenas are alive, and fans who show up are part of the history being made. This is basketball amplified, and the WNBA has never looked—or felt—this big.
Mark May 10, May 13, May 15, June 8, May 30, July 2, August 18, and September 24. Those are not just dates—they are declarations. The Connecticut Sun have set the stage. The only question is: will you be in your seat when history hits the hardwood?
Fans across Connecticut, Boston, and Hartford: the countdown is on. The tickets are live. The stars are ready. The arenas are primed. This is WNBA basketball elevated. This is the Connecticut Sun in full force. This is the season where New England witnesses greatness firsthand.
If you’re serious about basketball, stop reading and start buying. The Connecticut Sun aren’t playing—they’re rewriting the rulebook, and every home game is a masterclass in how women’s sports demand your attention. Be there. Be loud. Be part of it. Miss it, and you’re watching history from the cheap seats.
This isn’t just basketball. This is the Connecticut Sun era, and it starts May 10.
