Delta Air Lines became the official airline of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) on August 20, extending the two organizations’ partnership and the airline’s focus on supporting women’s athletics.
As part of the partnership, Delta will carry all 12 of the league’s teams throughout the regular season and playoffs, and create co-branded content supporting both the athletes and the airline on broadcast, digital, print and social media.
"Delta Air Lines shares the league’s commitment to excellence and innovation and is a dedicated partner in the work to uplift and empower women's sports," said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. "As an airline partner of the WNBA, this partnership not only elevates the travel experience for the players, but also underscores Delta and the WNBA's shared dedication to enhancing the growth and visibility of women’s sports. With Delta’s support, we are eager to bring the WNBA to new heights and connect with fans in meaningful ways."
Delta also supports women’s golf, became the Official Airline of the National Women’s Soccer League and has been the Official Airline of Team USA for Beijing 2022 and Paris 2024, and for the upcoming Milan Cortina 2026 and LA28 games.
“We’re 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 serving these incredible athletes on their journeys and furthering Delta’s support of women’s athletics.”
