WNBA games today: Schedule, times, how to watch for Oct. 2

The Women's National Basketball Association returns with a fresh collective bargaining agreement and million-dollar athletes. Defending champions Las Vegas Aces enter the season led by reigning MVP A'ja Wilson, while challengers like the Atlanta Dream, New York Liberty, and Indiana Fever aim to dethrone them.

The schedule for October 2, 2026, features a matchup between the Dallas Wings and the Golden State Valkyries broadcasting on ESPN2 at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Several rosters feature notable updates ahead of the action. The Indiana Fever welcome back a fully healthy Caitlin Clark after she missed extensive time last season, while the New York Liberty must navigate the early absence of Sabrina Ionesco following her ankle injury during a preseason contest against the Connecticut Sun.

Additionally, the Atlanta Dream acquired Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky following a 30-win campaign last year.
