Get ready for an exciting season as the Dallas Wings take flight! A new era of basketball is upon us, and the Wings are ready to soar.
The Dallas Wings have just unveiled their highly anticipated 2026 schedule, and it's packed with thrilling matchups and potential turning points for the team. With a fresh coach and a top draft pick, the Wings are determined to leave their mark on the WNBA.
But here's where it gets controversial... or at least, potentially exciting for the Wings' fans. The team has set their sights on improving their record from last year's 10-34, and they've made some bold moves to achieve this. In October, they hired Jose Fernandez, the former South Florida coach, to lead the team after a change in management.
And this is the part most people miss: the Wings also hold the No. 1 pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft, an opportunity to further strengthen their roster. Last year, they drafted the sensational Paige Bueckers, and her rookie season has everyone buzzing with anticipation for 2026.
The schedule itself is a mix of home and away games, with a few special treats for the Dallas fans. Three games will be played at the prestigious American Airlines Center (AAC), adding a touch of glamour to the season. Here's a breakdown of the opponents and venues:
