Check out DC's WNBA team at CareFirst Arena.
Prior to the 2019 season, the Mystics played their home games at Capital One Arena, sharing it with the NHL’s 라이브카지노 Capitals and the NBA’s 라이브카지노 Wizards. Now, the talented squad has CareFirst 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.

In the first round of the 2025 WNBA Draft, the Mystics made two franchise-altering selections in guard Sonia Citron (no. 3 overall) and forward Kiki Iriafen (no. 4 overall). In their rookie seasons, Citron and Iriafen were both selected as WNBA All-Stars along with the Mystics' leading scorer, Brittney Sykes. The team has quickly become one of the most exciting to watch in the league, making Mystics more must-see than ever.

The Mystics have been a consistent contender over the last decade-plus, with nine postseason appearances in an 11-season stretch from 2013-23. That run includes a 2019 championship as well as a trip to the WNBA Finals in 2018. Now, with Citron and Iriafen leading a new era of Mystics basketball (along with new head coach Sydney Johnson), the future has never been brighter.
Some of the WNBA’s best teams and players visit CareFirst Arena each summer to take on the Mystics in what promises to be a rowdy environment. Visit the team's for a full 2025 schedule as the group aims to return to the WNBA Playoffs.
One of DC’s emerging neighborhoods, Congress Heights is ripe for exploration either before or after a Mystics game. In addition to the CareFirst Arena, which also hosts concerts, the neighborhood offers Gateway DC, THE ARC, the Congress Heights Arts & Culture Center and food options.
