On Monday, the WNBA released its 2025 schedule, and the Las Vegas Aces will begin their quest for a third WNBA title at New York on Saturday, May 17. It is the first of two road games to start the 2025 regular season for the Aces, who follow their 2024 WNBA Semifinals rematch against the Liberty with a Tuesday, May 20, clash against the Sun at Connecticut.
The Aces will then host the Washington Mystics in their May 23 home opener at Michelob ULTRA Arena.
The WNBA expanded to 13 teams, welcoming the Golden State Valkyries in 2025, and upped the regular season to 44 games from 40 games played in each of the past two seasons
