Prior to the 2019 season, the Mystics played their home games at Capital One Arena, sharing it with the NHL’s Washington Capitals and the NBA’s Washington Wizards. Now, the talented squad has the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Congress Heights to call home. The 4,200-seat arena provides an intimate atmosphere for Mystics fans to cheer on their favorite team, and in turn, a true homecourt advantage for one of the best teams in the WNBA.

The team is led by Elena Delle Donne, one of the best players in WNBA history.

Elena Delle Donne is a superstar. The incredibly talented forward has been named an WNBA All-Star six times and has brought home two MVP awards. Her arrival in DC in 2017 completely rejuvenated the franchise, leading to a run of success that culminated in a WNBA championship in 2019. Prior to her arrival, the team had won just one playoff series in its history, which began in 1998. In short: Delle Donne is the greatest player the team has ever had and having a chance to watch her play is a blessing for DC sports fans.

You will be watching a perennial contender.

Led by Delle Donne, as well as other stars such as Ariel Atkins, Natasha Cloud and Tina Charles, the Mystics are always in the mix in the WNBA's Eastern Conference. Prior to missing the postseason in 2021, the team had reached the playoffs in four straight seasons, the longest run in franchise history. That stretch included the aforementioned 2019 championship as well as a trip to the WNBA Finals the year before.

The schedule always features outstanding matchups.

Some of the WNBA’s best teams and players will visit the Entertainment and Sports Arena next summer to take on the Mystics in what promises to be a rowdy environment. Stay tuned to the team's website for schedule updates for the 2022 season.
