After months of discussion, the Dallas Wings confirmed Monday that they will move to the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the 2027 season. The announcement comes as their tenure at the College Park Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington concludes at the end of the 2026 season. Dallas rapper BigXThaPlug was part of the team’s announcement video, which can be seen below. “Today’s announcement marks a pivotal step in the team’s relocation to Dallas as well as our continued growth as a professional sports enterprise,” said Dallas Wings CEO Managing Partner Greg Bibb. “American Airlines Center is a world-class venue in the heart of Dallas providing the spaces and amenities our athletes deserve while delivering an incredible environment for our growing and passionate fan base. We would like to thank Dave Brown and his talented team at American Airlines Center for all of their work in making AAC the new home of the Dallas Wings. Our players, coaches, staff, and front office are excited for the 2027 season.” 2027 will also mark the scheduled opening of their new 70,000-square-foot, $81 million practice facility at Joey Georgusis Park in Far West Oak Cliff. Plans are for it to open in April of 2027 in time for training camp. The facility will feature two professional courts, advanced recovery suites, and dedicated community spaces. Wings CEO Greg Bibb said that, in terms of the 2028 season and beyond, the team is hoping to be in the renovated Dallas Memorial Auditorium and play the next 15 years in that building as their home venue. In 2024, the Wings signed a 15-year agreement with the city of Dallas to play at Memorial Auditorium downtown starting in 2027. Due to delays in construction, the Wings will spend at least 2027 at the AAC. “We would also like to thank John Hall, Chris Fulton and the staff at College Park Center for their decade-plus partnership. When the team moved to North Texas in 2016, the city of Arlington and University of Texas-Arlington welcomed us and provided an incredible venue for our athletes, coaches, staff, partners and fans. College Park Center has always felt like home, and that is a credit to the people and the partnership along with the building itself,” Bibb said. The Wings moved from Tulsa in 2016. “American Airlines Center is proud to serve as the home of the Dallas Wings, and we look forward to being part of the continued growth and excitement surrounding women’s sports,” said Dave Brown, General Manager of American Airlines Center. “We have tremendous respect for the organization’s leadership, the talent and dedication of its players, and the bright future of the franchise in Dallas. We’re honored to be part of the Wings’ journey and remain committed to supporting the team and its continued success.” The American Airlines Center is currently home to the Dallas Mavericks and Stars; both teams plan to move north when their leases expire after the 2030 season. The Wings played two regular season games at AAC in 2025, including a record-setting showing against the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark. It was the largest game in franchise history, the largest WNBA crowd in Texas, and one of the 10 largest WNBA games ever at the time. The Wings are playing three AAC games in 2026 in total; one has already passed. There are two more in August, including a rematch against the Fever and Clark on Aug. 20. Current Wings Season Ticket Members will get renewal offers starting Monday, Aug. 10. People interested in becoming season ticket members will have the opportunity starting on Aug. 20, coinciding with the Wings-Fever matchup that night at the AAC.
