WNBA star Breanna Stewart is heading back overseas, as Fenerbahçe Opet announced Monday that the New York Liberty forward will join the Turkish powerhouse ahead of the 2026 EuroLeague Women Final Six in April.

Taking place in Spain from April 15th through the 19th — days before WNBA players must report to team training camps for the 2026 season — the tournament will determine this year's EuroLeague champion.

The Unrivaled co-founder will first finish out her 3×3 run with the third-place Mist, with the offseason league's final set to tip off on Wednesday, March 4th.

Stewart is no stranger to competing for EuroLeague trophies with Fenerbahçe, with the forward leading the team to the 2022/23 title — and picking up the league's Final Four MVP award along the way.

Even more, that EuroLeague hardware was Stewart's second, after the star claimed the 2020/21 championship — and MVP honors — with UMMC Ekaterinburg.

This time out, Stewart will join a Fenerbahçe roster already stacked with WNBA talent, including Liberty teammate Emma Meesseman, as well as fellow All-Stars Kayla McBride (Minnesota Lynx) and Gabby Williams (Seattle Storm).

The Breanna Stewart signing raises CBA questions for the WNBA

The news of Stewart's overseas trip arrives at an interesting time, as ongoing CBA negotiations threaten to delay the planned 2026 WNBA season start.

The Liberty star's move also raises questions about prioritization rules, with the prior CBA requiring contracted players to rejoin their WNBA teams by the beginning of training camp or May 1st — whichever came later — or face a year-long suspension.

Prior to her European trip, Stewart will finish up the 2026 Unrivaled basketball season, with her 3x3 team Mist BC back on the court against the Lunar Owls at 9:15 PM ET on Saturday, airing live on truTV.

Breanna Stewart led Fenerbahce to its first ever EuroLeague women’s title on Sunday. In the process, the two-time WNBA champion broke the record for most points in a modern Euroleague women’s final and earned Final Four MVP honors.

Stewart recorded 35 points — including 26 in the first half — in the 99-60 win over CBK Mersin Yenisehir Bld. (The previous record, 31 points, was set by Diana Taurasi in 2009.)

While Stewart previously played for Russia’s UMMC Ekaterinburg during the WNBA offseason, the 28-year-old made the switch to the Istanbul-based Fenerbahce following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the detainment of Brittney Griner.

Stewart wasn’t the only WNBA player to star in Sunday’s all-Turkish EuroLeague basketball final. Fenerbahce’s roster also included Satou Sabally (11 points), Emma Meesseman (10 points), Kayla McBride (16 points), and Courtney Vandersloot (5 points), while CBK Mersin’s roster was highlighted by Elizabeth Williams (10 points), Chelsea Gray (9 points), and Tiffany Hayes (3 points).
