No White House visit for Aces: Team confirms no invitation after 2025 title [View all]
For the second straight year, it appears the WNBA will not be included in one of the championship celebrations most associated with winning in American sports.
The Las Vegas Aces did not receive an invitation to the White House after winning the 2025 league title in October, a team spokesperson told USA TODAY.
The Aces considered visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture as an alternate way to commemorate the championship in Washington D.C. but will not be able to make the trip when it visits the Washington Mystics on July 22 due to scheduling conflicts.
The Trump administration has yet to host a WNBA or NBA team for a championship visit. Although championship visits for women’s sports teams have been rare during both of U.S. President Donald Trump’s terms, this will be the first time the Aces have won a title without visiting the executive estate.
