The Chicago Sky will play two of their 2025 matchups against the Indiana Fever in the United Center, the team announced in a Friday release. They will tip off on June 7 at 7 p.m. CST and July 27 at 2 p.m. CST. Tickets for the games will go on sale on March 11th at 11 a.m. CST.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever, two championship franchises, to the United Center this summer for its first-ever WNBA games,” United Center Executive Vice President Joe Myhra said in Friday's release. “It’s an honor to showcase these elite athletes and highlight the impact of women’s sports in an arena rich with iconic basketball moments.”
The United Center has served as the home of the Sky's NBA counterparts in the Chicago Bulls since 1994. The Bulls earned their second 3-peat shortly after the stadium first opened, which included two of the three championship-sealing games at home in 1996 and 1997. The West Madison Street stadium can seat 21,000 for basketball games, making it a perfect venue for a Bulls team that has sported one of the NBA's highest attendance ratings for four consecutive years, according to ESPN's attendance report. The pair of home matchups will be the first WNBA games played in the iconic Chicago venue, the Friday release read.
The Sky weren't the only team who announced game relocations during the offseason.
The Washington Mystics announced multiple game relocations on Thursday. Games against the Sky, Fever and Las Vegas Aces were moved to EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, VA and CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, MD, according to a Thursday release. The Mystics will face off against the Sky in their Camp Day game on July 8 at 11:30 a.m. EDT in EagleBank Arena, the home of the George Mason Patriots' men's and women's basketball teams.
The Sky will tip off against the Fever in their first bout of the 2025 regular season on May 17. They will take to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at LSU to face the Brazilian National Team as they kickoff their preseason schedule in May. The Sky will face the Fever five times this season, including in their first game in their 5-game slate of Commissioner's Cup games.
