Vancouver to host 1st WNBA regular-season game outside U.S. in August
Vancouver will host the first WNBA regular-season game played outside the United States next year when the Atlanta Dream and the Seattle Storm meet at Rogers Arena.
The game is scheduled for Aug. 15, about 10 months before the expansion Toronto Tempo begin play in the 2026 season.
It will be the third WNBA held in Canada after the women's professional basketball league staged exhibition games May 5 in Edmonton and May 13, 2023, in Toronto.
Toronto, along with Portland, were awarded expansion teams earlier this year to bring the league up to 15 teams.
