The WNBA’s agreement in principle on a new collective bargaining agreement took the lockout talk off the front page and put the focus back where Las Vegas wants it: games on the calendar.
Hours later, the Aces followed with the fan-facing details, unveiling their 2026 theme nights and giveaways and setting the public on-sale date for single game tickets.
The Monday morning that matters
Single game tickets go on sale to the public Monday, March 23 at 10 a.m. PT.
The team will run a presale from March 20-23 for 2026 season ticket members and fans on the current ticket waitlist. After that window, the public sale opens for all 22 regular-season home games. Tickets start at $20.
Las Vegas also offers group ticket options for parties of 10 or more. Fans who want information on 2027 season ticket memberships can add their name to the team’s waitlist.
Two championship nights to start the party
Las Vegas opens its title defense Saturday, May 9 at T-Mobile Arena against Phoenix, its 2025 WNBA Finals opponent.
The Aces will hold a pregame ring ceremony, and the first 7,500 fans will receive a “Three of a Kind” flag.
The first game at Michelob ULTRA Arena comes Saturday, May 23 against Los Angeles. The Aces will raise their newest championship banner before tipoff, and the first 7,500 fans will receive a replica championship banner.
The 10 nights to circle now
Las Vegas set 10 theme and giveaway nights for the season:
- Saturday, May 9: Opening night, ring ceremony (vs. Phoenix, 12:30 p.m.)
- Saturday, May 23: Banner raising (vs. Los Angeles, 5 p.m.)
- Saturday, June 6: Alumni Weekend (vs. Golden State, 12 p.m.)
- Monday, June 8: Pride Night (vs. Seattle, 7 p.m.)
- Friday, July 3: Heroes of the House (vs. Chicago, 7 p.m.)
- Saturday, July 11: Kids Day (vs. Phoenix, 1 p.m.)
- Thursday, July 30: Utah Starzz Legacy Night (vs. New York, 7 p.m.)
- Thursday, Aug. 13: Cancer Awareness (vs. Washington, 7 p.m.)
- Thursday, Aug. 20: San Antonio Stars Legacy Night (vs. Connecticut, 7 p.m.)
- Tuesday, Sept. 22: Fan Appreciation Night presented by Ally (vs. Los Angeles, 7 p.m.)
Pride Night will feature in-game recognitions and entertainment tied to the LGBTQ+ community, plus a Pride fan giveaway for the first 7,500.
Heroes of the House Night will honor first responders and local heroes, with a handheld Aces banner for the first 7,500.
Kids Day will include youth-focused in-game activations and an Aces-themed giveaway. The team has not announced the specific item yet.
Legacy nights: Utah, San Antonio, Las Vegas
The Aces will also spotlight the franchise’s 30th-season history across three dates. Alumni Weekend on June 6 will bring back former players from the Utah Starzz, San Antonio Stars and Las Vegas Aces.
On July 30, the first 7,500 fans will receive an exclusive 30th-season hat as the night honors the franchise’s Utah years. On Aug. 20, the first 7,500 will receive a Bucket$ bobblehead that nods to both Utah and San Antonio as the team celebrates its time as the Stars.
Giveaways are subject to change based on availability. The bigger point for Las Vegas is access. Season ticket memberships are sold out again, so single game buyers will be working off whatever inventory remains.
Single game tickets go on sale to the public Monday, March 23 at 10 a.m. PT after the March 20-23 presale window for season ticket members and fans on the current waitlist. If you want ring night on May 9 or banner night on May 23, treat Monday morning like your best shot.
