<h2>Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky 
</h2>
Saturday, Aug. 8, 3 p.m. ET, CBS/Paramount +

This rivalry heated up over the past two seasons when 2024 draftees Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese brought their college rivalry to the professional ranks. While Reese left Chicago in the offseason and now plays for Atlanta, these two Midwest squads — separated by less than 200 miles — have begun a new chapter in their head-to-head history.
Their first meeting of the season — a 114-106 overtime win for Indiana — produced a bit of history as the Fever’s Aliyah Boston (34 pts, 12 reb) and Clark (32 pts, 10 ast) became the first teammates in league history to post 30-point double-doubles in the same game. Chicago had a 30-point scorer of its own as rookie Sydney Taylor posted a then-career-high 30 in just 21 minutes off the bench.
The Fever (19-11) have won the last seven meetings with the Sky (11-19). Chicago’s last victory came on June 23, 2024, in Chicago — the site of this Rivals Week clash.

<h2>Seattle Storm at Portland Fire</h2>
Saturday, Aug. 8, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV
<h2>Portland Fire at Seattle Storm</h2>
Friday, Aug. 14, 10 p.m. ET, ION/League Pass
We go from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest as the Portland Fire and Seattle Storm play a Rivals Week home-and-home set to close out their season series.
While the Storm and Fire each entered the WNBA as expansion teams in 2000, the Fire ceased operations in 2002, leaving Seattle as the region’s only team. The Storm went on to become one of the league’s most successful franchises, tying the Houston Comets and Minnesota Lynx with a record four WNBA titles.
Now, after 24 years, the Fire have returned to Portland as one of two expansion teams this season, renewing this regional rivalry with Seattle. The Fire won the first two matchups against the Storm this season by five points apiece — 94-89 on June 17 in Portland and 77-72 on July 4 in Seattle — extending their all-time series lead to 7-4.

<h2>Las Vegas Aces at New York Liberty</h2>
Sunday, Aug. 9, 12:30 p.m. ET, ABC
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-268111" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110111.675.png" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110111.675.png 2000w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110111.675-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110111.675-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110111.675-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110111.675-1536x864.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" />
This is the final matchup of the 2026 regular season between two teams that have defined championship pedigree over the past five seasons and gone head-to-head in three marquee events since 2023.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Winners of the last four WNBA Finals: Las Vegas in 2022, 2023 (over New York), and 2025; New York in 2024</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Winners of three of the last five WNBA Commissioner’s Cups: Las Vegas in 2022; New York in 2023 and 2026 (both over Las Vegas)</li>
</ul>
While the regular-season series is tied at 1-1 — with New York earning an 87-76 win on June 23 and Las Vegas winning the most recent matchup 104-99 on July 30 — this will be the fourth time they have faced off in under seven weeks.
On June 30, the Aces and Liberty met in Brooklyn for the championship game of the Commissioner’s Cup. Despite playing without reigning MVP A’ja Wilson, the Aces held a 71-69 lead early in the fourth quarter before New York went on a 15-2 run to seize control and held off Las Vegas the rest of the way to become the first team to win multiple Commissioner’s Cup championships.
This rivalry not only features two teams that have collected a ton of hardware in recent years, but it also features the only three active players to win league MVP since 2018:
Las Vegas’ Wilson (4x) and New York’s Breanna Stewart (2x) and Jonquel Jones. Wilson and Stewart are also both two-time Finals MVPs, while Stewart is the only player to win multiple Commissioner’s Cup MVPs. Meanwhile, Jones is the only player in WNBA history to win every MVP award: Regular Season (2021), Commissioner’s Cup (2023), Finals (2024) and All-Star (2026).

<h2>Golden State Valkyries at Los Angeles Sparks</h2>
Sunday, Aug. 9, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN
On May 16, 2025, the Los Angeles Sparks spoiled the first game in Golden State Valkyries history with an 84-67 win at Chase Center in San Francisco. The Bay Area squad has not lost to its rivals from SoCal since, winning the last four meetings between the league’s two California squads.
Year 2 of this budding rivalry began on June 15 when the Valkyries defeated the Sparks 78-58 inside Ballhalla, with All-Star Gabby Williams leading the way with a game-high 16 points. The Valkyries can clinch the season series with a win on Sunday or when the teams meet again on the final day of the regular season, in Los Angeles on Sept. 24.
<hr />
<h2>Dallas Wings at Indiana Fever</h2>
Friday, Aug. 14, 7:30 p.m. ET, ION/League Pass
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-268112" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110718.364.png" alt="" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110718.364.png 2000w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110718.364-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110718.364-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110718.364-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/08/Thumbnail-2026-08-05T110718.364-1536x864.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" />
If you like buckets mixed with your rivalries, then this is the matchup for you. 
There are currently seven players averaging at least 20 points per game this season, and three of them will be featured in this game: Indiana&#8217;s Kelsey Mitchell (24.0 ppg, 2nd) and Caitlin Clark (21.5 ppg, 3rd), and Dallas&#8217; Paige Bueckers (20.3 ppg, 7th).
If you like No. 1 picks mixed with your rivalries, this is also the matchup for you.
This game features each of the last four top overall picks in the WNBA Draft: Indiana’s Aliyah Boston (2023) and Clark (2024), and Dallas’ Bueckers (2025) and Azzi Fudd (2026).
This is the first meeting between these squads since their season opener on May 9. The stars showed out in that highly anticipated matchup, with six players scoring 20-plus points: Indiana&#8217;s Mitchell (30), Boston (23), and Clark (20), as well as Dallas&#8217; Arike Ogunbowale (22), Bueckers (20), and Odyssey Sims (20).
Dallas earned a 107-104 win, meaning a win in this Rivals Week matchup or in their final meeting on Aug. 20 would clinch the season series for the Wings. That head-to-head tiebreaker could be crucial, as both teams enter this week neck-and-neck in the middle of the playoff race with matching 19-11 records.

2026 WNBA Rivals Week: Key Games To Watch

Analysis

The WNBA’s rich history of rivalries is part of what has made it so fun to follow the league over the last 30 years. If you’ve been a fan of the league for much of that time, you can feel the bubbling tension between two squads thanks to their postseason history, in-state rivalry, or positional battles that were marquee events to catch back then. 
If you’re a newer fan, there are still rivalries with several chapters yet to be written &#8211; recent Finals matchups, must-see regular-season clashes between rivals, and recent college stars that are taking the league by storm all fall into this category. 
In celebration of Season 30 and WNBA Rivals Week Presented by Ally, let’s look at some of the more defining rivalries throughout the WNBA’s history, with a focus on team rivalries and not on individual rivalries. And &#8211; this is not an exhaustive list by any means. 
<hr />
<h2>Los Angeles Sparks and Sacramento Monarchs</h2>
<div id="attachment_267631" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-267631" class="wp-image-267631" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-53741101-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-53741101-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-53741101-300x199.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-53741101-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-53741101-768x510.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-53741101-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-53741101-2048x1360.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" />Ticha Penicheiro #21 of the Sacramento Monarchs, Lisa Leslie #9, Raffaella Masciadri #33 and Christie Thomas #32 of the Los Angeles Sparks</div>
Any in-state rivalry is going to be natural, especially when both squads are talented. Los Angeles and Sacramento were the California rivals to watch before the Monarchs folded in 2009. Postseason success defined these two teams’ rivalry, with both being quite successful back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 
Los Angeles had the first punch in this rivalry, eliminating Sacramento from the postseason in 1999 amid a contentious Western Conference run. With a second and third opening to take a swing at the Sparks, the Monarchs were unable to topple them and missed out on the Finals in 2001 and 2003. 
They finally broke the dam the following year, taking down the Sparks in 2004, but still missing out on the Finals. Then, in 2005, the Monarchs toppled both the Sparks and Houston Comets to reach the WNBA Finals, where they defeated the Connecticut Sun. They proceeded to trounce the Sparks the following year, too, but lost those Finals. 
Postseason history definitely boosts the profile of any rivalry, and clashes that feature Lisa Leslie, Yolanda Griffith, Tamecka Dixon, or Ticha Penicheiro were sure to have that larger-than-life feel. Both teams found championship success, Los Angeles of course snagging more trophies over the rivalry’s lifespan, and it was a much-needed boost to a state that is so passionate about basketball.

<h2>New York Liberty and Houston Comets</h2>
<div id="attachment_267632" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-267632" class="wp-image-267632" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-715154-1-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="597" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-715154-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-715154-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-715154-1-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-715154-1-768x510.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-715154-1-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-715154-1-2048x1359.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" />Cynthia Cooper #14 of the Houston Comets and Teresa Weatherspoon #11 of the New York Liberty</div>
The Houston Comets are still one of the most iconic dynasties in the WNBA, although the Las Vegas Aces are trying to nip at their heels a bit (more on them later). Led by players like Sheryl Swoopes, Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, and Tina Thompson, they kicked off the WNBA with force &#8211; four straight WNBA championships. 
New York, on the other hand, tried three of those four times to unseat them. We talk a lot about how irritating it becomes in the postseason for teams to have to play each other over and over again. Same faces, same physicality, and likely the same matchups night in and night out. Imagine doing that three times, on the biggest stage in the WNBA? 
Of course, we will always remember The Shot from Teresa Weatherspoon in the teams’ 1999 clash with Houston, but that might’ve been the highlight for the Liberty during that stretch of this rivalry. New York wouldn’t actually win the Finals for the first time until 2024, much after Houston had already come and gone. 
This rivalry, just like the one between Los Angeles and Sacramento, felt like one that carried a ton of respect &#8211; this was probably the first rivalry we could really peg down in the WNBA, between two teams composed of some of the league’s first superstars who were carrying the weight of the league on their shoulders. 
<hr />
<h2>Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury </h2>
<div id="attachment_267633" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-267633" class="wp-image-267633" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-102965199-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="612" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-102965199-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-102965199-300x204.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-102965199-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-102965199-768x522.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-102965199-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-102965199-2048x1393.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" />Sue Bird #10 of the Seattle Storm and Diana Taurasi #3 of the Phoenix Mercury</div>
While there was a disclaimer at the start to this piece about no individual rivalries getting the shine over team rivalries here, you can’t really talk about the Storm and Mercury’s rivalry without talking about the obvious matchups between Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, or Brittney Griner and Breanna Stewart, or Lauren Jackson and Penny Taylor. 
This was a rivalry very similar to the Monarchs and Sparks in the sense that both were, and are still, unbelievably successful franchises with excellent fan bases. In 2026, both teams are struggling to find their footing, but that doesn’t eliminate their existing rivalry in the West. 
Phoenix has been dominant against Seattle in the postseason, but Seattle has generally had their number in the regular season, with <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/basketball/vs/phoenix-mercury-vs-seattle-storm">a</a> 56-41 all-time record. Seven championships between the two teams and a major Hall of Fame presence just goes to show how elite this matchup was thanks to how well these teams matched up in the late 2000s and early 2010s. 
<hr />
<h2>Minnesota Lynx and Los Angeles Sparks</h2>
<div id="attachment_267634" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-267634" class="wp-image-267634" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-857669100-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="651" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-857669100-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-857669100-300x217.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-857669100-1024x740.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-857669100-768x555.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-857669100-1536x1111.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-857669100-2048x1481.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" />Candace Parker #3 of the Los Angeles Sparks and Maya Moore #23 of the Minnesota Lynx</div>
Los Angeles is clearly allergic to staying out of rivalry talk. Maybe that’s just a testament to how good they were back when the league got started, and throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Their rivalry against the Lynx was <a href="https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/20896940/minnesota-lynx-los-angeles-sparks-become-one-best-rivalries-wnba-history">described by</a> ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne as one of the best in WNBA history back in 2017, and that was not an exaggeration. 
 
Shelburne shared that declaration amid the second WNBA Finals in a row between the two teams, where the series would go to a Game 5. Nneka Ogwumike had hit the game winner in Game 5 back in 2016, and in 2017, the decisive game was still unbelievably tight with just under 30 seconds left in regulation. But Maya Moore just did Maya Moore things in clutch time, rattling home a game-sealing jumper over a Sparks defender to get the Minnesota lead to five. That clinched the Lynx’s fourth title, and added a revenge chapter to their rivalry with Los Angeles. 
This was the definition of heavyweights clashing. While that was the end of the Lynx’s dynasty, it was still an emphatic period in these two teams’ rivalry.
<hr />
<h2>Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty </h2>
<div id="attachment_267635" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-267635" class="wp-image-267635" src="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-1727812022-5-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="675" srcset="https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-1727812022-5-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-1727812022-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-1727812022-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-1727812022-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-1727812022-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wnba.com/sites/4/2026/07/GettyImages-1727812022-5-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" />A&#8217;ja Wilson #22 of the Las Vegas Aces and Breanna Stewart #30 of the New York Liberty</div>
This rivalry feels sparked more by some contentiousness between players than anything else, especially considering that Las Vegas has won three championships since 2022, while New York just has one title. But it’s always fun catching games between these two teams led by perennial MVP candidates in A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. It’s rare to get a positional matchup between stars like this, and their recent postseason chapters have just added to that rivalry between the two players’ teams. 
Obviously, back in 2022, New York had the opportunity to finally snag a championship for the first time in their franchise&#8217;s history. Las Vegas had other ideas, winning their Finals series against New York in four games. It featured <a href="https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/38212276/liberty-star-sabrina-ionescu-shoes-go-missing-aces-arena">an awkward accusation</a> from Sabrina Ionescu regarding some stolen sneakers in a previous Aces contest that season, and a comment from then-Aces guard Kelsey Plum <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/aces-kelsey-plum-criticizes-liberty-210012786.html">regarding the difference</a> in chemistry that her team had and what New York had (hint: she didn’t think the Liberty had the upper hand there). 
The Liberty eventually did snag their title in 2024, also defeating the Aces along the way that postseason. But the two teams had not met again &#8211; yet &#8211; en route to another championship push. They’ll have one more game coming up that is must-see television: on August 9 at 12:30 PM EST
