The New York Liberty are your 2026 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup champions, beating the Las Vegas Aces 93–85 at Barclays Center to become the first team in league history to win the in‑season trophy twice.
Breanna Stewart led the way for New York, piling up 25 points as the Liberty controlled the fourth quarter and closed out the win in front of a loud home crowd. Sabrina Ionescu added 26 points and a clutch late three, while Jonquel Jones anchored the interior and helped New York keep Las Vegas off the glass.
The Aces were without four‑time MVP A’ja Wilson, who missed the game after tweaking her ankle earlier in the week, but still pushed the Liberty behind a huge night from Jackie Young, who scored 31 points and kept Las Vegas within striking distance until the final minute.
For New York, lifting the Cup again reinforces the idea that this core — Stewart, Ionescu, Jones and company — is built for big stages, while Las Vegas will look to get Wilson healthy and use the loss as fuel for the rest of the regular season.
