The Dallas Wings are an American professional basketball team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Wings compete in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) as a member of the Western Conference. The team is owned by a group led by chairman Bill Cameron. Greg Bibb is president and CEO. Brad Hilsabeck joined the Dallas Wings ownership group in March 2019 with the acquisition of Mark Yancey's interest in the Wings.
The team was founded in Auburn Hills, Michigan, as the Detroit Shock before the 1998 WNBA season began. It then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, before the 2010 season and became the Tulsa Shock. On July 20, 2015, Cameron announced that the franchise would move to Arlington for the 2016 WNBA season.
The team qualified for the WNBA playoffs in eight of their twelve years in Detroit and in one of their six years in Tulsa. As the Wings, the team qualified for the playoffs in five of their ten years in Dallas. In 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2008 the franchise went to the WNBA Finals; they lost to Phoenix in 2007, but won the title in 2003, 2006 and 2008 over Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Antonio respectively.
The franchise has been home to players such as Deanna Nolan, one of women's basketball's all-time leading scorers, Katie Smith, Cheryl Ford, Swin Cash, Skylar Diggins, Odyssey Sims, Australian center Liz Cambage, Arike Ogunbowale and No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers.
