The Connecticut Sun announced the launch of its “Sunset Season,” its final season playing in the state before moving to Houston, Texas.

Throughout the 2026 season, the Sun said it’ll honor more than two decades of “unforgettable moments, legendary players, and the fans who have been the heart of the organization.”

It was officially announced by the Mohegan Tribe on Monday that the team was sold and would be moving, making this season the Sun’s last in Connecticut.

“We intend to honor every chapter of our story and make this final season our most meaningful one yet. This season is about gratitude, celebration, and giving our fans the farewell they deserve. The Connecticut Sun story is one of resilience, community, and heart, and the Sunset Season will honor all of it,” said Connecticut Sun President, Jen Rizzotti.

There will be a roll out of special initiatives, events, and fan experiences to honor the team’s legacy and impact.

There will be a new commemorative sunsey logo this season and will appear on limited edition merchandise, select game day give awards, and in-arena branding throughout the year.

The home court will also be sunset-themed, and throughout the season, the organization will welcome back Sun legends in iconic players and coaches who helped shape the organization.

Original Day 1 Season Ticket Members will get an exclusive commemorative gift celebrating their dedication from the very beginning, the organization said. The team will also lead a community court revitalizaiton project with the aim of creating a lasting gift to reflect the team’s connection to local youth, families, and fans.

Finally, the team will host a homecoming game that will reunite generations of Sun players and fans for a day that will honor the past and celebrate the team’s future.
