The Chicago Sky made a significant announcement for the upcoming 2025 WNBA season that serves as another victory for Caitlin Clark in her rivalry with Angel Reese.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark and Chicago’s Angel Reese headlined a deep 2024 WNBA rookie class and were both instrumental in contributing to increased viewership and ticket sales across the league.

The rivalry between these two stars dates back to 2023 when Reese led the LSU Tigers to a 102-85 blowout victory over Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship game.

Well, Chicago has added extra juice to the rivalry by making a significant announcement about the upcoming season: Their two home games against Indiana (June 7 and July 27) will be played at the much larger United Center (home of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls and NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks) instead of their usual venue, Wintrust Arena:

That right there is another clear-cut indicator of Clark having the edge over Angel Reese in terms of overall star power and popularity. It’s no coincidence that the Sky chose the two games against Indiana to be played in the United Center.

Wintrust Arena has a capacity of 10,387, whereas the United Center can hold 21,500 spectators for basketball games.

Caitlin Clark & Angel Reese Will Meet Five Times In 2025

The Fever and Sky are slated to meet four times during the regular season, with the first showdown taking place in Indiana on May 17 (the season opener). Aside from the aforementioned June 7 and July 27 meetings in the Windy City, they’ll also play at Indiana on Aug. 9 and Sep. 5.
