WNBA To Play First Regular-Season Game Outside The U.S. In Vancouver

Published

on

The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) today announced that the third WNBA Canada Game will feature the Atlanta Dream and the Seattle Storm playing a regular-season game on Friday, August 15, 2025, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C., marking the first regular-season WNBA game outside of the U.S.

The Dream’s 2024 campaign concluded with a second consecutive playoff appearance for the first time since 2013 and 2014.  Atlanta’s 2024 roster featured Rhyne Howard, the 2022 Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year; Tina Charles, who ranks first and second, respectively, in WNBA history for rebounds and points; Allisha Gray, who last year became the first player in WNBA history to win both the Kia WNBA Skills Challenge and WNBA STARRY® 3-Point Contest at WNBA All-Star; and Mississauga, ON’s Laeticia Amihere.

The four-time WNBA champion Storm are coming off their 25th anniversary season and 19th playoff appearance.  The Storm’s 2024 roster featured WNBA Champion, 2016 Kia WNBA MVP and nine-time WNBA All-Star Nneka Ogwumike, two-time WNBA champion and six-time WNBA All-Star Jewell Loyd, and six-time WNBA All-Star Skylar Diggins-Smith.

The Dream participated in the first preseason WNBA game in Europe when they defeated the Great Britain Women’s National Team in Manchester, England in 2011. The Storm took part in the second WNBA Canada Game in May 2024 when they defeated the Los Angeles Sparks in Edmonton, AB.

Ticket information, broadcast details and the start time of the game will be announced in the coming months.  Fans can register to be notified of presale ticket access at WNBACanadaGame.com.

Following the sold-out 2023 and 2024 WNBA Canada Games held in Toronto and Edmonton, respectively, the 2025 game will mark the fifth WNBA game to be played outside of the U.S. following the previous games in Canada, England and Monterrey, Mexico (2004). This year the WNBA set records for digital consumption and merchandise sales in 2024 and had its most-viewed WNBA playoffs presented by Google in 25 years.  2024 WNBA viewership in Canada was up 175% compared to the 2023 season, and the league also set new highs in Canada across digital platforms including WNBA League Pass and social media.

In 2023, the WNBA announced that the Golden State Valkyries will join the league for the 2025 season as the league’s 13th franchise.  In 2024, Toronto and Portland were granted the 14th and 15th franchises, respectively, both of which will begin play in the 2026 season.
