The New York Liberty will host the Minnesota Lynx on Thursday, October 10th at 8pm ET for Game 1 of the WNBA Finals.

The official schedule for the WNBA Finals between the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx is set. The Lynx punched their ticket with an 88-77 Game 5 win over the Connecticut Sun, returning to the Finals for the first time since 2017. New York is returning for a second-straight year, this time after defeating the Las Vegas Aces in four games.

The best-of-five series will begin on Thursday night at Barclay’s Center, where the top-seeded New York Liberty will host the second-seeded Minnesota Lynx. Game 2 will also be played in New York — and the series will shift to Minnesota for Game 3, and then Game 4 (if necessary). If the series is tied 2-2 through four games, the deciding Game 5 would be back in Brooklyn.
