The WNBA and Delta Air Lines have entered into an official partnership, making Delta the league’s official airline partner. This multi-year agreement builds on Delta’s existing relationship with the WNBA charter program and underscores the airline’s commitment to supporting women’s sports.

“We are proud to partner with the WNBA, where every game is a testament to our shared values ​​of teamwork and perseverance,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. “We look forward to supporting these incredible athletes on their journey and furthering Delta’s support of women’s sports.”

“Delta Air Lines shares the league’s commitment to excellence and innovation and is a committed partner in working to promote and strengthen women’s sports,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “As the WNBA’s airline partner, this partnership not only enhances the travel experience for players, but also underscores Delta and the WNBA’s shared commitment to promoting the growth and visibility of women’s sports. With Delta’s support, we look forward to taking the WNBA to new heights and connecting with fans in meaningful ways.”

Earlier this season, Delta expanded its charter services to cover all 12 WNBA teams during the regular season and playoffs. This expanded partnership will strengthen Delta’s role in promoting the league through various media channels, including broadcast, digital, print and social media.

Delta will also use its position to tell travel-related stories about WNBA teams and players, showcasing their journeys both on and off the court. As the Official Airline of Champions, Delta has flown 75 championship teams from numerous sports leagues since 2000, including the 2023 WNBA Champions, the Las Vegas Aces. All eight playoff teams in the most recent WNBA postseason traveled with Delta.

This new partnership aligns with Delta’s ongoing focus on promoting women’s sports and enhancing the fan experience through travel.
