The United Center can seat more than 20,000 people for basketball, setting the stage for the Sky to possibly break their single-game attendance record of 16,444 fans, which occurred on July 13, 2016 at Allstate Arena in Rosement.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday, March 11, at 11 a.m. CT on Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the United Center Box Office.

Existing Sky season ticket members will receive priority seating for the games and have their seats relocated to comparable locations at the United Center.

Last season, the second head-to-head matchup pitting two of the WNBA’s biggest stars was the most-watched game in the league in over two decades, peaking with nearly 3 million viewers.

The Sky finished 13-27 last season, missing the WNBA playoffs after the team punched their ticket for five straight seasons from 2019-23, including their lone championship in 2021.
