The winner-takes-all 2026 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final is here, as New York battles Las Vegas to become the in-season tournament’s first-ever two-time winner.
With forward Satou Sabally (concussion) sidelined, the Liberty enters on a two-game losing streak. They rattled off road defeats to Seattle and Golden State after besting Las Vegas last week.
The Aces bounced back from Tuesday’s loss with confident wins over Dallas and Chicago. However, they could be facing a major blow, after listing superstar A’ja Wilson (right leg) as “questionable” as of early this morning.
Las Vegas won the inaugural 2022 Commissioner’s Cup, one year before New York beat the Aces to lift the 2023 trophy.
The winning team splits a $500,000 purse — about $30,000 per player — while the Liberty already raised $18,000 for the African American Policy Forum and Las Vegas earned $19,000 for the Public Education Foundation.
“It’s going to be a great battle,” Aces coach Becky Hammon said. “I know Barclays is going to be rocking.”
The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final tips off at 7 PM ET, live on Prime.
