The Minnesota Lynx, whose roster features Canadians Bridget Carleton and Natalie Achonwa, will play the Chicago Sky at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena in a pre-season matchup on May 13
, the first WNBA game ever played in Canada.
Engelbert said the WNBA was just days from announcing a pre-season game in Canada in March of 2020. Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Englebert said among the 207 countries and territories in which the league was broadcast last season, Canada was an obvious choice to host an exhibition game due to the growing popularity of the league — and both basketball and women's sports in general — here. She pointed to the success of the Toronto Raptors, and Canada's women's soccer and hockey teams at the Olympics.
