Dallas Wings head coach Jose Fernandez said the team will play its 2027 games at the American Airlines Center -- home of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks -- though an agreement has not been finalized, according to Wings CEO and managing partner Greg Bibb.
The news comes as the Wings continue to deal with delays in the readiness of their new training facility and new permanent home, the renovated Dallas Memorial Auditorium.
'We will be in the practice facility next year to open up training camp,' Fernandez said in response to a question from Front Office Sports. 'That is going to happen, and we will be playing all of our games in American Airlines (Center) next year as well.'
However, Bibb told USA Today the team was in 'advanced negotiations' to play at the American Airlines Center but a deal was not done, and added the Wings did not yet have the required approval from the WNBA to change venues for a season.
Both the practice facility and the remodeled Memorial Auditorium had been expected to be ready for the 2026 season. Instead, the opening of the new $81 million training facility has been pushed to spring 2027 and games will not be played in the approximately 8,400-seat Memorial Auditorium until 2028.
The majority of the Wings' 2026 games will be played at the 7,000-seat College Park Center in Arlington, with three games this season to be played at the 20,000-seat American Airlines Center against the Chicago Sky, Indiana Fever and Golden State Valkyries. The Wings played just two games at the venue in 2025, both against the Fever.
