WNBA Tonight: Dream vs. Liberty Headlines Monday Slate as Playoff Race Heats Up
The WNBA takes center stage Monday night with a crucial doubleheader, as teams jockey for playoff positioning in the final stretch of the regular season. First up, the Atlanta Dream face the New York Liberty at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBC Sports, with both teams battling for a better seed in the postseason picture. The Liberty, who have more players competing in the FIBA World Cup than any other WNBA team, could have plenty of reasons for a sluggish return—but they won’t be making excuses as the important stretch run kicks into gear. Led by Breanna Stewart, who recently powered Team USA to a fifth straight FIBA World Cup title, New York remains focused on the task at hand.
In the nightcap, the Phoenix Mercury look to end the Dallas Wings’ winning streak at 10 p.m. ET on USA Network. The Wings have been one of the hottest teams in the league, and the Mercury will need a strong performance to cool them off.

Meanwhile, Breanna Stewart continues to cement her legacy as a global basketball icon. After leading Team USA past France in the FIBA World Cup final on September 13, Stewart has earned the nickname “Captain America” for her clutch performances on the international stage. Her ability to dominate on both ends of the floor makes her a rare triple threat and a key reason why the Liberty remain a top contender. As the WNBA season winds down, Stewart’s leadership will be vital for New York’s playoff push.
