The 2025 WNBA Finals, officially the WNBA Finals 2025 presented by YouTube TV for sponsorship reasons, was the best-of-seven championship series for the 2025 season of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). This was the first year that the league used the best-of-seven format, after using a best-of-five format since 2005.
The Finals featured the second-seeded Las Vegas Aces and the fourth-seeded Phoenix Mercury, beginning on October 3 and ending on October 10. This was the first time since the 2021 WNBA Finals that the first-seed did not advance to the Finals. It was Las Vegas' third Finals appearance in four years, and Phoenix's first since 2021. The Aces defeated the Mercury in a sweep to win their third championship in four years and cement themselves as a dynasty. A'ja Wilson was named Finals MVP, winning the award for the second time and becoming the first player to be named Finals MVP, league MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season.
