Liberty and Sky Clash in WNBA Season Finale
The stage was set for an exciting showdown as the New York Liberty traveled to Chicago to take on the Sky in their regular season finale. This wasn’t just another game on the calendar—it carried the weight of momentum, confidence, and playoff readiness. The Liberty, already locked in as the No. 5 seed, were looking to close their season on a high note, while the Sky, led by rookie star Angel Reese, were hoping to make a statement against one of the league’s powerhouses.
For New York, the game arrived at the perfect time. For the first time in months, the Liberty were finally healthy. Breanna Stewart, last season’s Finals MVP, was back in full stride, Sabrina Ionescu had returned from her toe injury, and Nyara Sabally stepped onto the court for the first time since mid-July. The sense of relief within the locker room could be felt, because the road to a title repeat suddenly looked a lot more realistic with the roster intact.

The Liberty’s most recent win, a 75–66 victory over the Washington Mystics, showed just how dangerous this team becomes when clicking on all cylinders. Emma Meesseman led the way with 19 points, Stewart added 14, and Jonquel Jones put together another double-double. That was not just a box score—it was a reminder of how deep and balanced this squad can be when healthy. In fact, with Jones posting a double-double, New York extended an incredible streak of being undefeated in such games since her arrival.
On the other side, the Chicago Sky entered the matchup fighting uphill. Their record had not reflected consistency, but their youthful core, including Angel Reese, continued to inject energy into the team. The Sky’s growth season had been punctuated by moments of promise, but facing the defending champions was bound to be a true test. Fans at Wintrust Arena were eager to see whether Chicago’s resilience could disrupt New York’s rhythm before the playoffs.
The stakes were slightly different for both teams, yet equally important. For the Liberty, this was about rhythm, chemistry, and sending a message: the defending champs were not backing down. For the Sky, it was about pride, development, and showing their fans glimpses of a future that could be built around their emerging stars.
As the clock ticked closer to tipoff, viewers were reminded where they could catch the action. The game tipped off at 8 p.m. Eastern, airing nationally on NBA TV, and streamed across services like fuboTV, DirecTV, Sling, and Hulu + Live TV.
Whether you tuned in for the star power of Stewart and Ionescu, or to watch Reese’s relentless hustle, one thing was certain: the Liberty vs. Sky clash was more than a finale. It was a bridge between the grind of the regular season and the intensity of the postseason, a night where experience met ambition, and where every possession mattered just a little more than usual.
