The 2025 Las Vegas Aces season was the franchise's ongoing 28th season in the Women's National Basketball Association and the eighth year the franchise is based in Las Vegas - after relocating from San Antonio and Utah. This will be the fourth season under head coach, Becky Hammon. The season was tipped off on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Barclays Center versus the defending 2024 WNBA champs, New York Liberty.
In April 2025, newly signed forward, Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, announced her second pregnancy and is expected to "miss at least the first three months" of the 2025 season.[1] On May 1, 2025, the Aces announced that center, Megan Gustafson, suffered a left lower leg injury during training camp and would be sidelined indefinitely.[2]
In June 2025, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) announced that they again would be gifting players on the Aces roster $100,000 sponsorships.[3] In May 2024, the WNBA opened an investigation into these sponsorships given to the 2024 Aces' players.[4] As of June 2025, no results of the league's probe into this sponsorship had been made public.[3]
On June 1, 2025 during the Seattle Storm home game against the Aces, a complaint was filed by the Aces with an allegation of a Storm assistant coach cursing at an Aces player.[5] On June 4, the Storm's general manager, Talisa Rhea, stated that the WNBA would not be launching an investigation but rather would be "looking into it and that's really the extent of it."[6][7]
