The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup championship game returns to New York, with the New York Liberty hosting the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday, June 30. The matchup is a rematch of the 2023 Commissioner’s Cup final, when New York defeated Las Vegas and the two teams later met in the WNBA Finals that same season, with the Aces winning the title. For this year’s championship, the Liberty are the hosts after previously securing a Commissioner’s Cup win in Las Vegas. The game is set for a $500,000 purse, according to one report. Earlier, the Liberty hosted the 2024 Commissioner’s Cup championship game but lost to the Minnesota Lynx, and one outlet notes the team had to relocate to Long Island for that event. Across the coverage, the key storyline is that New York and Las Vegas meet again in the Commissioner’s Cup finale, with the location shifting back to the Liberty after the earlier win in Las Vegas and the teams’ 2023 championship history.
