There is genuinely no better time to catch a Las Vegas Aces game than right now. The Aces won the WNBA championship in 2022, 2023, and 2025, becoming the first team in league history to win three titles in a four-season span since the Houston Comets won four consecutive championships from 1997 to 2000. Going for a fourth title in five years is the mission for 2026.
The roster is elite. The arena atmosphere is electric. And watching A’ja Wilson operate in person is one of those sports experiences that earns its own category in your memory. Here is the complete 2026 Las Vegas Aces schedule from May through the end of the regular season, with everything you need to know about tickets, key games, and what to expect at the arena.
About the Las Vegas Aces: Why This Team Is Worth Watching
The Aces are led by A’ja Wilson, a four-time WNBA MVP who is playing at a level that places her in the conversation with the greatest players in professional basketball history. During the 2024 season, Wilson became the first WNBA player to score 1,000 points in a single season and set the league’s all-time single-season scoring average record. Seeing that in person is something highlight reels do not replicate.
Alongside Wilson, the roster features Jackie Young, a four-time WNBA All-Star, and Chelsea Gray, a six-time All-Star. The team is coached by Becky Hammon, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022. This is a dynasty operating in real time and 2026 is the chance to witness another chapter of it.
Where the Aces Play: Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay
Michelob ULTRA Arena sits inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. The 12,000-seat venue opened in 1999 and has been the Aces’ home since the franchise relocated to Las Vegas in 2018.
For visitors staying anywhere on the Strip, this is about as convenient as professional sports gets. Mandalay Bay connects to Luxor and Excalibur via a free indoor tram. Rideshare drop-off on game nights runs smoothly from Hacienda Avenue. The arena is compact enough that sightlines are strong from virtually every section, which feeds the atmosphere considerably on sold-out nights.
Note: The May 9 season opener is an exception, played at the larger T-Mobile Arena to accommodate the championship ring ceremony.

Key Games to Circle on the 2026 Las Vegas Aces Schedule
Not every game on the schedule carries the same weight. These are the matchups worth prioritizing if your Las Vegas travel dates have any flexibility at all.
May 9 vs Phoenix Mercury—Season Opener and Ring Ceremony
This is a direct rematch of the 2025 WNBA Finals. The Aces host their championship ring ceremony at T-Mobile Arena before tip-off as they begin their pursuit of a fourth title in five years. Championship rings, a finals rematch, and a national broadcast. If one game on the entire 2026 calendar is worth building a trip around, this is it.
June 6 vs Golden State Valkyries—National TV
The Golden State Valkyries, entering just their second WNBA season, have quickly established themselves as a legitimate competitive force and a strong draw for national broadcasts. This ABC game at Michelob ULTRA Arena puts a rapidly rising expansion team against the defending champions on a national stage.
July 5 vs Indiana Fever—Caitlin Clark in Las Vegas
Indiana meets Las Vegas on July 5 on ESPN in what projects as one of the highest-demand tickets of the entire WNBA season. Caitlin Clark versus A’ja Wilson on a Sunday national broadcast inside a sold-out Michelob ULTRA Arena. Secondary market prices for this game will be significantly elevated well before game day. If you want to attend, buy now.
June 23 vs New York Liberty
New York enters 2026 as one of the top title contenders in the league and brings a fan base that travels exceptionally well. Home games against the Liberty consistently produce some of the best regular season atmospheres in the arena all year.
How to Buy Las Vegas Aces Tickets in 2026
- Official Channel: AXS single-game tickets, season memberships, premium seats, suites, and group packages are all available through AXS as the official ticketing partner for the Las Vegas Aces. Face-value pricing, no secondary market markup. Start here.
- Secondary Markets: Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats carry Aces inventory at market pricing. For marquee games, expect premiums of 30 to 100 percent above face value on resale platforms.
