New York Liberty win WNBA Commissioner’s Cup, beating Las Vegas Aces 93-85

The New York Liberty captured their second WNBA Commissioner’s Cup on June 30, 2026, defeating the Las Vegas Aces 93‑85 at the UBS Arena in New York. Sabrina Ionescu led the Liberty with 26 points and Breanna Stewart added 25 points and 11 rebounds, earning Stewart her second Cup MVP award. The Aces were without four‑time MVP A’ja Wilson, who sat out with a right‑leg injury, and relied on Jackie Young’s 31‑point effort. The victory made the Liberty the first team to win the Cup twice since the tournament began in 2021. The championship carries a $500,000 prize pool, with each winning player receiving $30,000 and the losing team’s players $10,000, and the teams also supported charitable causes. The game was streamed exclusively on Prime Video.
