Where the Connecticut Sun<\/a> will play in future years is still in question, but the team will return to Mohegan Sun for at least the 2026 season. <\/p>\n

The Sun released their regular-season schedule<\/a> Wednesday, a 44-game slate that spans from May to September with a game at TD Garden and a pair of contests at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford. <\/p>\n

ESPN reported<\/a> in December that the Houston Rockets\u2019 ownership group was in serious talks to purchase and relocate the Connecticut Sun. That report came after a summer where<\/a> Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca confirmed he made an offer to buy the Sun and relocate the team to Boston. Former Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry matched that offer with a plan to move the team to Hartford.<\/p>\n

The WNBA essentially blocked Pagliuca\u2019s offer, stating that the WNBA Board of Governors decides on whether or not a team relocates, not the individual teams. <\/p>\n

Connecticut\u2019s 24th season will begin on the road, with the Sun playing at the Barclays Center against the New York Liberty on May 8 at 7:30 p.m. They will return to Uncasville two days later to open their home slate with a game against the Seattle Storm on May 10 at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

This season\u2019s TD Garden game will take place Aug. 18 at 7 p.m., continuing a three-year stint in Boston. The Sun will host the Los Angeles Sparks in a game that has sold out each of the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

Connecticut will also add two games in Hartford, playing the Sparks on May 30 at 6 p.m. and former UConn standout Paige Beckers and the Dallas Wings on July 2 at 8 p.m. in PeoplesBank Arena.<\/p>\n
