The WNBA is broadening its reach, as Dallas and Toronto head to Montréal’s Bell Centre next month in a bid to shatter the all-time women’s basketball attendance record.
With a capacity of 22,114, a sellout would surpass the current record of 22,076, set during the 2007 WNBA Finals at the Palace, former home to the NBA’s Detroit Pistons.
It would also leapfrog the regular-season WNBA record of 20,711, set at DC’s Capital One Arena in 2024, and January’s Unrivaled high-mark, when 21,490 fans packed Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena.

The news arrives amid a successful stretch for the Wings, as back-to-back No. 1 picks Paige Bueckers (2025) and Azzi Fudd (2026) attract crowds both at home and on the road.
No. 5 Dallas is gearing up to face No. 2 Las Vegas tonight after climbing the WNBA standings at 11-6 on the season — including seven wins in its last 10 games and a 2-0 record against the Aces.
“In this league, you’ve got to bring it every night,” coach Jose Fernandez said this week. “We’re going to get everybody’s best punch night-in and night-out, and that’s what our locker room has to understand.”
