WNBA history has been marked by franchise upheavals, but it has been nearly eight years since one of the league's franchise changed cities. That run appears poised to end in 2026, when the Connecticut Sun are set to move to Boston after more than two decades under the stewardship of the Mohegan Tribe.

Connecticut Sun president Jennifer Rizzotti told reporters on Sunday that the team would remain in its current home of the Mohegan Sun Arena through at least the 2026 season, amidst reports that Boston Celtics' minority governor Steve Pagliuca was leading an ownership group that planned to buy the franchise and move it to Boston.

A group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has reached a deal to buy the Connecticut Sun and move the team to Boston, according to an AP source.
