What happened: Fans & Arlington night with Geico is tied to the scheduled Phoenix Mercury game at College Park Center. The game had not started, with the score at Phoenix Mercury 0, Dallas Wings 0. CBS and Paramount+ are set to carry the broadcast.

Why it matters: The setup turns a league game into a local fan event, giving the home date a promotion beyond the matchup itself. With the score still 0-0 before tipoff, the attention stays on turnout and the in-arena event until play begins.

What to watch: Next comes tipoff at College Park Center, where the pregame promotion gives way to live action from a 0-0 start.
