SEATTLE — The Seattle Storm released its schedule Wednesday for the 2026 WNBA regular season, giving fans an exciting preview.
The Storm will look to build on a 2025 season that ended with a loss to the Las Vegas Aces in a tight first-round series.
The 2026 season, the first under new coach Sonia Raman, kicks off at home against the Golden State Valkyries on May 8 at 7 p.m.
Last season, Storm forward Nneka Ogwumike was elected to the All-WNBA Second Team in 2025 and took home her record-fourth Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award.
Also in 2025, Gabby Williams finished third in Defensive Player of the Year voting, and Dominique Malonga finished fourth for Sixth Woman of the Year.
Defending WNBA Champions, the Las Vegas Aces, will visit Climate Pledge Arena on Sept. 17.
