The energy is officially back in D.C.

On April 20, the Washington Mystics welcomed media and fans for Media Day at CareFirst Arena, setting the tone for a new season built on fresh talent, chemistry, and connection. From the moment doors opened, it was clear this year’s team is bringing a new level of excitement to the city.

A major highlight of the day was the debut of the Mystics’ rookie class, as Lauren Betts, Angela Dugalić, and Cotie McMahon experienced their first official WNBA Media Day. The moment marked an important milestone in their careers, as they stepped into the spotlight, meeting media, connecting with fans, and beginning their professional journeys in Washington.

Another exciting moment was seeing Georgia Amoore in a Mystics jersey, ready to make her return for Season 30. Her presence added to the anticipation surrounding the team and what is to come this year.

Beyond the rookies, Media Day created space for genuine interaction. Players took time to engage with fans, signing autographs, sharing conversations, and showing appreciation for the support that fuels the organization. It was not just about media obligations, it was about building relationships.

Behind the scenes, the day was packed with content creation. Players rotated through official headshots and creative photoshoots, capturing both the professional and personal sides of the team. From clean, polished portraits to more relaxed and personality driven shots, each moment added to the visual identity of the 2026 season.

There was also a lighter side throughout the day. Teammates laughed, created content together, and embraced the atmosphere, giving fans a glimpse of the chemistry that is already forming within the roster.

More than anything, Media Day showed what this team is about, growth, energy, and connection. With a new wave of talent and a strong foundation, the Washington Mystics are ready to make their mark.

The 2026 season starts now.
