Overview
The Minnesota Lynx play at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis and stand among the most successful franchises in WNBA history. Built through smart drafting and a culture of accountability under longtime leadership, the Lynx turned a small Midwest market into a genuine basketball powerhouse. They remain one of the league's most consistently competitive teams year after year.
History & Legacy
Founded in 1999, the Lynx broke through in 2011 and went on to win four championships (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017) behind a core of Maya Moore, Lindsay Whalen, Seimone Augustus, and Sylvia Fowles under coach Cheryl Reeve. That run tied them for the most titles of any WNBA franchise and cemented Minnesota as one of the league's defining dynasties.
