The Portland Fire released the 2026 season schedule on Wednesday that includes 44 games, split evenly between home and road — meaning that all the WNBA’s biggest names will stop in Portland at least once.
The Fire’s home opener will be against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday, May 9, if the regular season starts on time with the current WNBA and player union collective bargaining agreement negotiations.
If the regular season begins as scheduled, here’s when Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, Paige Bueckers and all the league’s greats will visit Portland.
This list is based on rosters from the 2025 season; many of these players could change teams when free agency begins after a new CBA is reached.
