Angel Reese, Dream's Schedule vs. Sky, Caitlin Clark, Top Stars for 2026 WNBA Season After Trade

On the verge of free agency, the Chicago Sky and Atlanta Dream dropped a blockbuster.

Angel Reese confirmed she's on her way from Chicago to Atlanta. According to Front Office Sports' Annie Costabile, the Sky are sending the two-time All-Star and a 2028 second-round pick swap to the Dream for first-rounders in 2027 and 2028.

The Dream coincidentally open their preseason against Chicago on April 29. Here's what their full slate in the regular season looks like:

Reese's first competitive game against her old team will be June 9 in Chicago. That's going to be an atmosphere on par with Luka Dončić's first trip back to play the Dallas Mavericks following his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Reese was a fan favorite from the moment she arrived in the 2024 WNBA draft, and her performance on the court added to her popularity. She set a double-double record as a rookie and is averaging 14.1 points and 12.9 rebounds through her first two years.

The 6'3" forward was also a bright spot for a franchise that has grown increasingly weary. Longtime followers of the team will recall Sylvia Fowles and Elena Delle Donne exiting Chicago. More recently, the championship-winning squad from 2021 was almost totally dismantled within two years.

When the Dream head to Chicago in early June, Wintrust Arena is bound to be a partisan crowd, one largely unified against the home team as a show of defiance toward the front office.
