The Washington Mystics are relocating four home games in the 2025 season to allow for larger attendance.
The Mystics sold out all home games in 2024 at CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C., which seats about 4,200.
The team said Thursday that the July 8 game against the Chicago Sky and the July 10 contest with the Las Vegas Aces will be played at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Va. Two games against Caitlin Clark and the revamped Indiana Fever will be held at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, scheduled for May 28 and Sept. 7.
The former seats about 10,000 people, with a capacity of about 11,000 for basketball at the latter.
“Fans of the Mystics live across the DMV and beyond, and we’re excited to bring the incredible experience of the WNBA closer to home for fans living near Baltimore and Northern Virginia,” said Alycen McAuley, the Mystics’ chief business officer. “As our game continues to experience tremendous growth, we’re thankful we have this opportunity to allow even more fans to come see the Mystics in person.”
Under its lease agreement, the Mystics are allowed to relocate up to four games in the regular season. Games moved last year were played at Capital One Arena, the home of the Washington Wizards, but planned renovations won’t allow for the Mystics this season.
The Mystics open the WNBA season on May 16 at home against the Atlanta Dream.
