Las Vegas Aces host New York Liberty in WNBA showdown

The New York Liberty travel to Las Vegas to face the Aces on Tuesday, June 23 2026, at the Michelob ULTRA Arena. The Aces enter the game 12‑4, chasing their ninth win in ten outings after consecutive victories over the Golden State Valkyries and the Phoenix Mercury. The Liberty are 11‑6 after back‑to‑back losses to the Los Angeles Sparks and Washington Mystics.

Betting markets list Las Vegas as a 1.5‑2.5‑point favorite, with money‑line odds around –140 and an over/under of 177.0. Prop suggestions include Sabrina Ionescu under 21.5 combined points‑rebounds‑assists, Jackie Young favored over Ionescu for points, Breanna Stewart over 3 assists, and Jonquel Jones over 7 rebounds.

Coach Becky Hammon sparked a pre‑game stir by saying, “I was wrong. My opinion was wrong,” revisiting a prior comment that Jalen Brunson could not lead the New York Knicks. The remark reignited tension from a 2023 championship parade where Hammon had previously criticized Brunson.

The game will be televised on USA Network, with streaming available via FuboTV (free trial), DirecTV (free trial) and SlingTV (introductory rates). The matchup also serves as a preview for next week’s WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final, where the two teams meet again.
