After the Minnesota Lynx eliminated the Connecticut Sun in five games earlier this week, the WNBA Finals matchup was set. The Lynx will take on the New York Liberty for the W crown in a five-game series that begins on Thursday and could stretch all the way to Sunday, October 20.
The Liberty return to the Finals after falling to the Las Vegas Aces in last year's edition in four games. The Lynx, meanwhile, are back in the final round after making six such appearances between 2011 and 2017. They won four WNBA titles in that span.
The revival of an old dynasty in Minnesota? Or the beginning of a new one in New York, where the Liberty have never won a single WNBA championship? Those two questions and much more will be answered as the games get underway.
Game 1 will be at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. on Thursday night. Here's a look at how much it would run you to see Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Napheesa Collier, and the rest of the stars on the biggest stage in the W.

As of writing, seats in the 200 level of the arena, which are in the upper bowl, can be had for as little as $43. The most expensive 200 level seat available is still only $99.
