Learn about the new WNBA Official Game Ball.

Big moves are being made in the world of pro basketball. In partnership with the WNBA, Wilson is proud to unveil the league’s new official game ball before the start of the milestone 25th WNBA season.

“We are thrilled to be tipping off our partnership with the WNBA in advance of a historic 25th milestone season,” said Amanda Lamb, Global Marketing Director, Team Sports at Wilson. “Introducing the Evo NXT to the pinnacle of the women’s game, all in the midst of Women’s History Month, is truly a momentous occasion for Wilson.”

Made of 100% composite leather, the official WNBA game ball integrates Wilson’s Evo NXT construction featuring an enhanced grip and a soft moisture-minimalizing feel.

ULTIMATE CONTROL

Composite laid-in channels make this a 100% composite leather basketball with a consistent texture and grip across the entire cover for ultimate control.

MICRO-TOUCH COVER

The Micro-Touch Cover uses an extra microscopic layer of texture for more grip and better moisture management.

“As we head into our 25th season with more momentum and energy than ever, we are excited to be partnering with Wilson on our new official game ball,” said Cathy Engelbert, WNBA Commissioner. “We’re grateful for Wilson’s partnership and commitment to women’s basketball, and the updated white and fire orange look signifies a new chapter for the WNBA brand and our game.”

Wilson’s footprint in basketball spans all levels of play globally, from the Wilson Evolution, the number one iconic Game Basketball in the U.S., to key partnerships including the official Game Basketball of the National Collegiate Athletic Association® (NCAA), the global Game Basketball of FIBA 3x3, the official Game Basketball of the National Basketball League (NBL) of Australia and the official Game Basketball of the Basketball Champions League (BCL) in Europe.

The Wilson WNBA game ball will be available exclusively on wilson.com beginning May 3, and through select retailers, including WNBAStore.com, on May 17.
