The Washington Mystics will host the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, with tipoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. It is a straightforward regular-season matchup, but one with a clear watch angle for fans looking to follow both teams on the same night.
The Mystics enter at 14-12, while the Sun are 7-20, giving this meeting a familiar late-summer contrast in records. That alone does not decide a game, but it does frame the kind of night Washington will hope to have at home.
What to watch
Washington has already shown it can get big production from Shakira Austin, who scored 25 points in the Mystics’ 100-99 victory over the Aces. If that kind of scoring shows up again, the Mystics should give themselves a strong chance to control the game.
For Connecticut, the task is simpler in theory than in practice: slow Washington down, stay in striking distance, and try to make the fourth quarter matter. With both teams in the middle of the WNBA schedule, this is the kind of game that can still carry real importance even without playoff stakes attached to it.
How to watch
The game is scheduled to air at 7:30 p.m. ET. Betting, odds, ticketing, and streaming links are provided by partners of The Athletic, while broadcast information for the matchup includes TV coverage in the usual WNBA game-day format.
For viewers, the key details are simple: Sun vs Mystics on Tuesday night, July 28, at 7:30 p.m. ET. Washington gets the home floor, Connecticut gets a chance to spoil it, and the matchup should be easy to find on the night schedule.
