After being bounced in the first round of last year’s playoffs and falling well below their championship expectations, the Liberty plan to return to action this spring with a new coach, possibly new faces and overall determination to get back to their winning ways.

New York is set to tip off its 30th season — and first under coach Chris DeMarco — at Barclays Center on May 8 against the Connecticut Sun.

The Libs will then hit the road for a three-game trip, including games in Portland on May 12 and 14.

Upon returning to Brooklyn, the Liberty will enjoy a seven-game homestand, their longest of the season.

The 44-game season will have two breaks in the schedule. The first will be for All-Star weekend festivities, which are scheduled to happen July 23-25 in Chicago. The WNBA will also have an 18-day pause at the beginning of September for the FIBA Women’s World Cup.

The WNBA regular season is set to end Sept. 24, though the Liberty’s will come to a close one day prior.

Here’s what else to know about the Liberty’s 2026 slate:
