The two competing teams for the game are Minnesota Lynx and Chicago Sky. According to a CBC report, WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert shared that it was an “obvious choice to host an exhibition game” in Canada as it’s significantly popular here.
Moreover, it’s only the third WNBA game that’s happened outside of the US in the league’s history. They also aim to expand to other cities in the future, while also wanting to have games in countries across the world.
