‘A Night in Dallas’ Returns: Wings-Fever Rematch Moves to American Airlines Center

Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers are set to square off Aug. 1 for one of the season’s most anticipated showdowns.

The Dallas Wings announced Monday that their Aug.1 matchup against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will be played at American Airlines Center, setting the stage for a highly anticipated sequel to 'A Night in Dallas.'

In front of a crowd of 20,409 at American Airlines Center, the Fever defeated the Wings 94-86 in their first matchup of the season June 27, despite Clark being sidelined with a left groin injury.

Notable athletes in attendance were nine-time NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks, superstar Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons and Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft by the Mavericks last month.

The game was originally scheduled to take place at the Wings’ home arena, the 7,000 seat College Park Center in Arlington.

Women’s basketball fans will now have another opportunity to see Paige Bueckers and Clark square off in Dallas as tickets go on sale July 11.

The first matchup between the WNBA’s two most recent No. 1 picks could come on July 13 if Clark is healthy, when Dallas travels to play Indiana at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Clark is arguably the league’s most popular player and has been since she stepped into the WNBA.

However, Bueckers is also emerging as a face of the league after receiving more All-Star votes than any other rookie in WNBA history with 805,471 votes.

Although Bueckers is having an impressive rookie campaign, averaging 18.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists, the Wings (6-13) have the worst record in the Western Conference and will look to turn their season around sooner rather than later.
