The Dallas Wings are getting a major upgrade. The Wings will play their 2027 season<\/a> at American Airlines Center, also home to the NHL\u2019s Dallas Stars and the NBA\u2019s Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n

Since moving to Dallas from Tulsa in 2016, the Wings have played at College Park Center at UT Arlington, which seats 6,251. The American Airlines Center has a capacity of around 20,000 for NBA games and reached 20,409 when the Wings hosted the Indiana Fever there last season.<\/p>\n

The Wings have consistently ranked in the bottom third of the WNBA in attendance, owing partly to the size of their building. The expectation with two consecutive No. 1 picks \u2014 Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd \u2014 is that the team can fill out a bigger arena regularly. Dallas has been one of the bigger road draws in 2026; teams have opened their upper bowl for Wings games, and the league set a regular-season attendance record of 20,996 for a game between Dallas and the Toronto Tempo last month in Montreal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Airlines Center is proud to serve as the home of the Dallas Wings, and we look forward to being part of the continued growth and excitement surrounding women\u2019s sports,\u201d Dave Brown, general manager of American Airlines Center, said in the statement. \u201cWe have tremendous respect for the organization\u2019s leadership, the talent and dedication of its players, and the bright future of the franchise in Dallas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wings had previously planned to move downtown to the Dallas Memorial Auditorium in 2026, but there were construction delays on the renovation project. The Dallas Morning News<\/a> reported that the renovation is expected to be completed in time for the 2028 season. That space, which used to host the Dallas Chaparrals of the ABA, would only accommodate about 9,000 fans.<\/p>\n

The franchise is still in the process of constructing a practice facility in west Dallas that will be ready for the 2027 season.<\/p>\n
