The WNBA continues to reach new heights as Vancouver hosted the first-ever regular-season game outside the US.

Vancouver hosted the first Women's National Basketball Association regular-season game outside the U.S. Friday. Vancouver does not have a WNBA team of its own, but the WNBA expansion team Toronto Tempo is set to begin play in the 2026 season.

The WNBA will host its first regular season game outside of the United States in Vancouver, Canada, with a match up between the Seattle Storm and the Atlanta Dream

The Seattle Storm’s victory snapped a six-game skid and spoiled the Atlanta Dream’s six-game win streak in the first WNBA regular-season game ever played in Canada.

The game will take place Friday, August 15, 2025 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C. It will be the first regular-season WNBA game ever played outside the United States.

Ahead of Vancouver hosting the first WNBA regular-season game played outside the United States, a women's basketball great was at a playground in Stanley Park on Thursday to support an initiative that she hopes will help strengthen basketball's grassroots.

The WNBA will play its first ever regular season game in Canada on Friday night in Vancouver. Storm vs. Dream will tip off at 10PM ET.

The Seattle Storm and Atlanta Dream will tip off at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Friday night, the first regular-season WNBA game to be played outside of the United States.

The Toronto Tempo are set to play two games in Vancouver during their first season in the WNBA. Team president Teresa Resch and GM Monica Wright Rogers made the announcement in Vancouver on Friday during the second quarter of a game between the Seattle Storm and Atlanta Dream.

Meeting for the second time in three days, this time in the WNBA's first regular-season game outside the United States, the red-hot Atlanta Dream will try to make matters worse for the reeling Seattle Storm on Friday in Vancouver.
