STWF Sports | ARLINGTON, Texas | July 19, 2026 — The Dallas Wings return home carrying one of the hottest streaks in the WNBA as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday afternoon at a sold-out College Park Center.
Tipoff is scheduled for noon CT, with national coverage on ABC. Ryan Ruocco will handle play-by-play duties alongside analyst Rebecca Lobo and sideline reporter Holly Rowe.
Dallas enters the matchup at 16-8 after winning five consecutive games, a run that has strengthened the Wings’ position among the league’s leading contenders. Los Angeles arrives in Arlington with a 10-14 record and will look to rebound from a difficult road loss in Chicago.
Sunday’s contest will also serve as the Wings’ annual Inspiring Women’s Game, which recognizes the recipients of the Nancy Lieberman Women of Inspiration Awards. This year’s honorees include Rowe as the Trailblazer Woman of Inspiration, Anne Chow as the Businesswoman of Inspiration and Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew as the Community Woman of Inspiration.
The celebration adds significance to an already compelling matchup as Dallas attempts to extend its longest winning streak of the season.
The Wings last played on July 12, earning a 96-91 victory over the Chicago Sky at American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas. Dallas trailed by as many as 10 points during the second half before taking control with a dominant fourth-quarter performance.
The Wings outscored Chicago 30-18 over the final 10 minutes, using defensive stops, transition opportunities and balanced scoring to complete the comeback.
Paige Bueckers led the way with another complete performance, recording a game-high 22 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and one block. The double-double was the fourth of her career and continued an impressive stretch in which she has impacted games as both a scorer and facilitator.
Five Dallas players reached double figures for the ninth time this season, highlighting the offensive depth that has fueled the team’s recent success. The Wings have consistently received contributions throughout the lineup, making it difficult for opponents to focus their defensive attention on one player.
Dallas has already defeated Los Angeles once this season. The teams first met June 5 at Crypto.com Arena, where the Wings earned a 104-96 victory. The result marked Dallas’ first regular-season road win over the Sparks since May 26, 2024.
Arike Ogunbowale delivered one of her strongest performances of the season in that contest, finishing with a season-high 30 points, six rebounds and six assists. Bueckers added 18 points while matching a career high and tying the Wings’ single-game record with 14 assists.
All five Dallas starters scored in double figures during the victory, allowing the Wings to withstand a productive offensive performance from Los Angeles.
The Sparks will enter Sunday looking for a sharper response after falling 96-82 to the Sky on Friday night. Veteran forwards Nneka Ogwumike and Dearica Hamby led Los Angeles with 18 points apiece, but the Sparks were unable to slow Chicago’s offense over four quarters.
Containing the Sparks’ experienced frontcourt will be an important assignment for Dallas. Los Angeles possesses players capable of scoring around the basket, creating second-chance opportunities and drawing fouls. The Wings will need to control the defensive glass and avoid allowing the Sparks to establish an early rhythm inside.
Dallas will also look to maintain the pace and ball movement that have helped power its winning streak. With Bueckers creating opportunities, Ogunbowale applying pressure as a scorer and multiple players capable of producing from the perimeter, the Wings have developed into one of the league’s most difficult offenses to defend.
A sold-out home crowd should provide additional energy as Dallas returns to College Park Center. The Wings have demonstrated resilience throughout their recent run, overcoming deficits and executing effectively in close games.
Sunday offers another opportunity for Dallas to build momentum, complete a second victory over Los Angeles and extend its winning streak to six games before a national television audience.
