Dallas Wings vs. Las Vegas Aces: Date, start time, how to watch, stream WNBA Preseason

WNBA Draft No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers will make her Dallas Wings debut on Friday, going up against the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA Preseason.

Bueckers, fresh off a college national championship with UConn and Rookie of the Year frontrunner, was selected by the Wings with the first pick in the 2025 draft on April 14.

Dallas finished 9-31 last season to earn the No. 1 pick but reached the playoffs each of the three seasons prior. This offseason, they traded star player Satou Sabally to the Phoenix Mercury while adding 2022 No. 2 overall pick NaLyssa Smith from the Indiana Fever and Tyasha Harris and DiJonai Carrington from the Connecticut Sun.

The Aces, back-to-back WNBA champions in 2022 and 2023, also enter the new season with a new look. Las Vegas traded Kelsey Plum, a key player in both title runs, and added Jewell Loyd this offseason. Still, the Aces are led by 3-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, who broke the league record for points in a season (1,021) in 2024.
