Toronto basketball fans will get their first look at the city’s newest team in late April.
The Toronto Tempo will open their inaugural pre-season schedule against the Connecticut Sun at Coca-Cola Coliseum on April 29, the team announced Wednesday.
The Tempo will then head to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Lynx on May 1.
One of the WNBA’s two new franchises for the 2026 season, the Tempo had already announced their regular-season schedule in January, and will open the year against the Washington Mystics on May 8, the first day of the WNBA calendar.
Over the 44-game regular-season schedule, the Tempo will play three of their home games at Scotiabank Arena, two at the Bell Centre in Montreal (vs. Dallas on July 10, vs. New York on July 12) and two in Rogers Arena in Vancouver (vs. Portland on Aug. 21, vs. Las Vegas on Aug. 23).
The Phoenix Mercury will visit Scotiabank Arena on June 27, followed by the Minnesota Lynx on July 30, and Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on August 18.
The Tempo have yet to add any players to their roster, as the WNBA and the players’ union continue to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement.
