Las Vegas Aces roll out hilarious schedule reveal

Aces 2025 game schedule reveal & notable storylines

Clash of the Titans

On May 17th at noon PDT, the Las Vegas Aces begin their quest against the defending WNBA champs, the New York Liberty.

The last three WNBA championships were won by the Aces and the Liberty which makes them one of the most competitive rivalries at the moment. The teams have ended each other’s seasons the last two years in the playoffs with an even 4-4 win & loss record. The reigning back-to-back regular season MVP, A’ja Wilson and 2x Finals MVP Breanna Stewart look forward to starting their season off in this primetime matchup.

A new face with a familiar one

In their seventh game of the season, the Aces will meet the Golden State Valkyries for their first matchup in WNBA history. Golden State is the first franchise to join the league since 2008 and they are led by former Aces’ assistant coach Natalie Nakase. The rookie head coach is the first Asian-American in WNBA history and received high praise and several remorseful social media posts from the Aces when the hiring news broke out in November. In a farewell video, Aces head coach Becky Hammon said that Nakase had a “big hand in everything that we’ve done.”

Caitlin Clark confronts consistency

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play the Aces on June 22nd at noon PT. Clark set the rookie record for overall scoring and set the total assists record for any player in WNBA history. The Aces were the most difficult team she faced in her rookie year. Last year against the Aces, Clark shot only 31.7% from the field and 20% from 3-point range. Every game needs to be treated and approached the same way, but the world hasn’t seen Clark play her best basketball against the most consistently successful team in the WNBA in the last three seasons.

Another familiar face and potential new challenges

In November, the Aces lost another coveted assistant coach from their staff. The Chicago Sky hired Tyler Marsh and Aces’ players A’ja Wilson and Sydney Colson both had social media posts expressing their displeasure with this loss.

Marsh won two WNBA championships with the Aces and one NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors in his role as head of player development.

In October and November of this year, the Aces experienced three major changes to their front office. Two assistant coaches are now head coaches for two WNBA teams and the Aces moved on from their general manager, Natalie Williams. With the talent of this league increasing with every draft, it will be interesting to see how the Aces navigate through those challenges this upcoming season.
