Chicago Sky 2026 season: 16–28, scoring 86.8 points per game and allowing 90.7 (-3.9 average margin) across 44 games. Updated October 8, 2026.
Scouting report
The Sky are 16–28, 11th in the league standings, with a -4.5 net rating that ranks 10th of 15. Neither end is a strength: 13th in offensive rating, 9th in defensive rating. They play fast, too — 1st in pace. Nothing jumps off the page as a strength, and the weak spots are shooting efficiency (49.7% eFG, 13th) and a lack of three-point volume (8.8 makes a game, 13th). Scoring is spread around — Kamilla Cardoso leads at 14.7 a game, but no one accounts for more than 17% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Sydney Taylor as the one they can least afford to lose — +12 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Aug 16–Aug 21) and a 30-point rout of the Fire on Jun 26. The lows: a 6-game losing streak (Jun 7–Jun 22) and a 30-point loss to the Mystics on Sep 17. They are 5–20 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team held back by its shot quality — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
