Indiana Fever made light work of Toronto Tempo on Monday night, with Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark combining for 53 points. Mitchell was electric from the off, pouring in 29 points and extending her streak to 20 consecutive games with 20 or more points - equalling a WNBA record. Clark added 24 points, further strengthening her MVP case in her third professional season. The Fever have now won 10 of their last 12 games. Toronto's losing run stretched to 11 straight defeats despite 22 points from Marina Mabrey.
Azzi Fudd's ongoing right knee injury continues to expose the Dallas Wings' fragility. The team's record without her stands at a dismal 1-5 this season, compared to 19-11 when she plays. With Jessica Shepard and Aziaha James also sidelined, the Wings face a tough test when they host the Indiana Fever in their next outing. There is cautious optimism about Fudd's potential return, but no firm timeline has been set.
The WNBA has confirmed that San Francisco's Chase Center will host the 2027 All-Star Game on 31 July. The Golden State Valkyries, who lead the league in attendance with 41 consecutive sellouts, recently clinched a playoff spot. The Bay Area continues its run as a major sports destination following the 2026 Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup.
Elina Svitolina has pulled out of the Cincinnati Open with a right ankle injury, handing Wang Xiyu a walkover into the fourth round. The withdrawal has implications for the Race to the WTA Finals, where Svitolina sits fourth. Elena Rybakina has climbed to first with 5,397 points, while Aryna Sabalenka and Mirra Andreeva are separated by just a single point in second and third.
The WTA Tour is weighing up a reduction in the number of mandatory events players must enter each season. Cincinnati Open tournament director Bob Moran revealed that the current structure is proving unsustainable, with Coco Gauff among the most vocal critics. On court, Gauff advanced to the fourth round in Cincinnati after defeating Ann Li. Any changes are expected to be modest - perhaps one or two fewer mandatory events.
Amanda Anisimova claimed her second top-20 scalp of 2026 with a hard-fought 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Alexandra Eala. After losing the opening set, Anisimova responded with composure, reeling off five consecutive games in the decider. She faces Linda Noskova next, while Eala turns her attention to the US Open.
Barcelona have paid a record £1.25m to sign Brazilian forward Kerolin from Manchester City - the highest fee ever received by a WSL club. The deal surpasses the previous record set when Olivia Smith moved from Liverpool to Arsenal. Kerolin scored nine goals in 15 league outings for City last season, helping them clinch their first WSL title since 2016. Barcelona needed reinforcements after losing Alexia Putellas and Mapi Leon to London City Lionesses.
Gotham FC beat Kansas City Current 2-1 for their first ever regular-season victory over the side, with Sam Kerr scoring her 80th regular-season goal. Kansas City's Amelia White netted after just 22 seconds - the fastest goal in NWSL history. In Utah, Miyabi Moriya, Narumi Miura, and Mina Tanaka all scored in a 3-2 win over Bay FC, marking the first time three Japanese players scored for the same team in a single NWSL match. Caiya Hanks made an emotional return from a torn ACL, scoring the winner for Portland Thorns against Orlando Pride.
South Korean international Casey Phair has signed a permanent deal with Feyenoord running until 2029. The 19-year-old striker departs Angel City FC after limited playing time this season. Phair made history at the 2023 Women's World Cup as the youngest player ever to feature in the tournament at 16 years and 26 days old.
Both the main sponsor and the title sponsor of Elitfotboll dam have opted against renewing their deals, leaving the Damallsvenskan without its two biggest commercial backers heading into next season. Newly appointed EFD chair Ylva Johansson acknowledged the gravity of the situation, with falling attendances adding to concerns about the league's financial sustainability.
Swedish full-back Hanna Glas has left FC Bayern Munich to join Kansas City Current. The 29-year-old, who is still recovering from a knee injury, made 50 appearances for Bayern and helped them win the 2020/21 Bundesliga title. She also scored a goal named UEFA's Goal of the Season in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.
Defending champions Bayern München have been drawn against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal. Record cup winners VfL Wolfsburg face SC Sand, while freshly promoted Hertha BSC take on 1. FC Köln. All first-round matches are scheduled for 26-28 September 2026.
