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.

Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca shared an “important update” on his planned acquisition of the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun.

Jennifer Rizzotti, president of the Connecticut team said to ESPN that a deal was reached to relocate the Sun to Boston for the 2027 WNBA season, but that the sale by the current owners, the Mohegan Tribe, and the move still needs to be approved by the league's WNBA Board of Governors.
