The Chicago Sky released their 2026 WNBA schedule today, marking the league’s 30th season and the franchise’s 21st year.  Head coach Tyler Marsh said: “It’s an honor to participate in the WNBA’s 30th season amid a time of tremendous growth for the league. We’re especially excited to welcome two more expansion teams to our competitive league, and we’ll be ready to match up against a strong lineup of opponents at home and on the road.”  The Sky open on the road for the fourth straight year, tipping off May 9 against expansion Portland Fire. Their home opener comes May 20 vs Dallas at Wintrust Arena.
