Connecticut Sun
Mohegan Sun’s very own WNBA Team
In January 2003, the Mohegan Tribe became the first Native American Tribe to own a professional sports team with its purchase of the Orlando Miracle, a Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) franchise founded in 1988. Renamed Connecticut Sun, the team was relocated to Uncasville, Connecticut, where they are managed by Mohegan and play home games inside the Mohegan Sun Arena. The 2025 season is being expanded to a record 44-game season (22 away, 21 at home, and one “home” game at TD Garden in Boston, MA).
The team’s name comes from its affiliation with Mohegan Sun, and the logo – a fiery orange sunburst, a WNBA basketball and a blue ribbon with four white semicircular domes – is a modern interpretation of an ancient Mohegan symbol.
