Chicago Sky

The Chicago Sky bring WNBA basketball to one of America's great basketball cities, playing their home games at Wintrust Arena on Chicago's Near South Side. The franchise has grown from expansion struggles into a championship organization with a loyal, growing fanbase. The Sky's identity blends veteran savvy with homegrown star power, and the team has become a central part of Chicago's crowded and demanding sports landscape.

Founded in 2006, the Sky spent their early years building before Elena Delle Donne and Sylvia Fowles carried them to their first WNBA Finals in 2014. The franchise's crowning moment came in 2021, when hometown hero Candace Parker returned to lead the Sky to their first WNBA championship, defeating the Phoenix Mercury. Stars like Courtney Vandersloot and Allie Quigley defined an era of Sky basketball, and the franchise has since retooled around a new generation headlined by Angel Reese.
