The 2026 WNBA season features a highly anticipated Memorial Day showdown as the Connecticut Sun travel to San Francisco to face the Golden State Valkyries on Monday, May 25. While the Sun are busy today (May 10) taking on the Storm, and the Valkyries face the Mercury, fans are already looking forward to this first meeting of the season between two title contenders. Watch the action unfold live on Fubo.

The Valkyries took the league by storm in their 2025 inaugural season, making the playoffs and establishing themselves as a force in the West. This offseason, they doubled down by signing All-Star forward Gabby Williams to join a core featuring Veronica Burton and Tiffany Hayes. The Sun countered by making the biggest splash of 2026, acquiring 10-time All-Star Brittney Griner to anchor a lineup that already includes elite young talent like Aneesah Morrow and Aaliyah Edwards. Witness this clash of styles live on Fubo.

The tactical battle will center on the interior. Connecticut's height advantage with Griner and Olivia Nelson-Ododa will be tested by the speed and defensive versatility of Kiah Stokes and Kayla Thornton. In the backcourt, the Valkyries look to Cecilia Zandalasini to provide the perimeter spacing needed to pull the Sun's defense away from the rim. Expect a high-intensity atmosphere at the Chase Center as these two powerhouses fight for early-season dominance.

Golden State's transition speed and Connecticut's ability to control the rebounding battle will be the deciding factors in this matchup. You can catch every highlight, block, and three-pointer streaming live on Fubo.
