The city\u2019s new WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo, is nearing its inaugural season and single-game tickets are going on sale, with none hotter than Aug. 18 when Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are in town.<\/p>\n

Single-game tickets now available for select matchups in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver as part of what the Tempo<\/a> is calling its \u201cCross-Canada Series.\u201d An attempt to have to team be seen, like the Raptors and Blue Jays, as one that represents the entire country, as well as, bring the best women\u2019s basketball in the world to other cities.<\/p>\n

Two games will be held at Montreal\u2019s Bell Centre on July 10 and 12, followed by another two at Vancouver\u2019s Rogers Arena on August 21 and 23.<\/p>\n

This also means Toronto basketball fans will miss the opportunity to see WNBA stars Paige Bueckers of the Dallas Wings and Sabrina Ionescu and Breanne Stewart of the New York Liberty.<\/p>\n

The Tempo will face the Dallas Wings and New York Liberty in what will be the first-ever WNBA games at the Bell Centre in Montreal.<\/p>\n

In Vancouver, the team will meet fellow expansion side Portland Fire and the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom day one, our vision has been to build Canada\u2019s team,\u201d said team president Teresa Resch in a statement, emphasizing the importance of connecting with fans nationwide. \u201cBringing Tempo basketball to these cities is about more than games\u2014it\u2019s about growing the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tempo will play Clark\u2019s Fever team on two other occasions one in Indiana on June 16 and a second game back in Toronto at Coca-Cola Coliseum on Sept. 18.<\/p>\n

Since the joined the WNBA two seasons ago, Clark has helped propel the league to newer and greater heights. There are times when home teams have actually moved to larger facilities, such as Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, when she comes to town to play. And, one would not be surprised if that happens here.<\/p>\n

Although it is listed as Coca-Cola Coliseum on the Ticketmaster site for the Aug. 18 Tempo tilt with the Fever is already on the Scotiabank Arena calendar of events.<\/p>\n

The team<\/p>\n

Now that the schedule has been set, the only thing the Tempo needs now is a team. Although the ownership group, which includes Serena Williams and Lilly Singh, have been announced, as well as the coaching staff,<\/a> including coaching legend Sandy Brondello, because of a labour dispute the WNBA has not yet held the expansion draft for the two new teams, or the college draft, or open its free agency period.<\/p>\n

Although no official date for the expansion draft has been set, it has been reported that it will be between April 1-6. \u00a0A shortened free agency period will happen after the expansion draft beginning on April 7. \u00a0The college draft will be held on April 13.<\/p>\n

For Toronto\u2014and for Canadian basketball more broadly\u2014the countdown to tip-off has officially begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The city\u2019s new WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo, is nearing its inaugural season and single-game tickets are going…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-549211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549211\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
