Key dates for the 2026 Lynx season
While the 44-game summer slate is packed with exciting basketball, there are a few pivotal checkpoints in the 2026 campaign you should keep an eye on. Also, don’t forget that the league will observe a brief pause from late August into mid-September for the FIBA Women’s World Cup.
- Home Opener (May 10): Minnesota tips off its home schedule with a Sunday evening clash against the Atlanta Dream at Target Center.
- Liberty matchups: The stakes are always high when the Lynx face the New York Liberty, who spoiled Minnesota’s championship hopes during the 2024 WNBA Finals. Be sure to circle their mid-July and late-September meetings in Minneapolis.
- WNBA All-Star Weekend (July 24–25): The WNBA’s brightest stars converge on Chicago for this year’s midsummer festivities. Expect to see some of Minnesota’s marquee players in attendance.
