Overview

  • The Seattle Storm (16-17) face the Eastern-leading Atlanta Dream (21-11) at Rogers Arena in Vancouver tonight at 10 p.m. ET in the league’s first regular-season contest outside the U.S.
  • The Dream enter on a six-game win streak without guard Jordin Canada, who is sidelined for about two weeks with a hamstring injury.
  • The Storm are riding a six-game losing skid and hold the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
  • The game is available live on TSN in Canada and on Ion in the U.S., extending the league’s broadcast reach.
  • This milestone builds momentum for the Toronto Tempo expansion team, slated to begin play in 2026 as part of the WNBA’s plan to grow to 16 teams by 2028.
