Connecticut Sun forward Aneesah Morrow (24) rebounds the ball during a WNBA game between the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun on August 3, 2025, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. Gov. Ned Lamont said Monday the state would do everything it could to keep the WNBA's Connecticut Sun in state.

Connecticut Sun president Jennifer Rizzotti confirmed Sunday that the team plans to play at Mohegan Sun Arena in 2026 after a deal was reached Saturday for a Boston-based investor group to buy the franchise and relocate it there for the 2027 season.

The Mohegan Tribe purchased the team in 2003, known then as the Orlando Miracle, and became the first owners of a WNBA team outside NBA owners. Rizzotti had positive things to say about the Mohegan Tribe, noting they've "tried to do what's best for not just this team, but for the league as a whole."
