The WNBA season resumes action on Thursday, September 17th, 2026, with the Washington Mystics facing the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena. For the Mystics, this marks the beginning of the season's final stretch, with only four games remaining. Washington has already secured a playoff berth, but has the opportunity to improve its seeding in the tightly contested standings.
The Chicago Sky, however, have been eliminated from playoff contention. Their focus has shifted to evaluating their roster for the upcoming season, especially with key players like Rickea Jackson and Skylar Diggins sidelined due to injury. Despite their situation, the Sky, bolstered by veterans like Natasha Cloud and promising rookie Sydney Taylor, could play the role of spoiler against a Mystics team fighting for a better playoff position.
