Aces’ WNBA championship parade time/date revealed

Aces fans looking to celebrate the team’s third WNBA title in four seasons can plan to do so at the end of next week.

The Aces’ championship parade is planned for Oct. 17, a person with knowledge of the event told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Friday night.

The Aces announced that parade would begin at 5 p.m., with the planned parade route being similar to the Aces’ 2023 championship celebration with the procession beginning near the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue and then moving north on the Strip in a southbound lane to Park Avenue, ultimately ending up at Toshiba Plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena.

The celebration at Toshiba Plaza will last until 7:30 p.m., with fans able to enter the area at 3 p.m., according the Aces. Once the Aces arrive at the plaza, they will have a red carpet entrance to the main stage where they’ll address the crowd.

Fans will be able to purchase Aces championship merchandise at the celebration at a pop-up shop to be located at Toshiba Plaza. The shop is scheduled to open at 4 p.m. Friday.

The Aces capped off their 2025 WNBA championship run Friday night, beating the Phoenix Mercury 97-86 to take the best-of-seven series 4-0.

Four-time league MVP A’ja Wilson was named finals MVP as the Aces became the first WNBA team to win three titles in four seasons since the Houston Comets won the first four WNBA championships between 1997 and 2000.
