Dallas Wings

The Dallas Wings play at College Park Center on the campus of UT Arlington, giving the franchise an intimate, college-gym atmosphere unlike almost anywhere else in the league. One of the WNBA's most well-traveled franchises by history, the Wings have built a reputation for drafting and developing young talent even as the roster has churned through relocations. Texas has slowly grown into a genuine WNBA market under their watch.

The franchise dates to 1998 as the Detroit Shock, which won three championships (2003, 2006, 2008) behind Bill Laimbeer's physical, defense-driven style before relocating to Tulsa in 2010 and then to Dallas in 2016. Since arriving in Texas the team has focused on a youth movement, most notably drafting and building around Arike Ogunbowale, but has not yet returned to a Finals under the Wings name.
