The stage is finally set. The Aces and Mercury will go head-to-head in the WNBA Finals to determine the league's 2025 champion. 

No. 2-seeded Las Vegas has advanced to the Finals for the fourth time in six years, but not without some struggle along the way. The Fever pushed the Aces to a nail-biting fifth game in the semifinals, which ended in a dramatic 107-98 victory in overtime. 

No. 4 Phoenix enters the Finals on a high after edging out the No. 1-seeded favorite Minnesota Lynx in the semifinals. A major performance from Alyssa Thomas and some late 3-pointers from DeWanna Bonner helped the Mercury to overcome a 13-point fourth quarter deficit to punch their ticket in Game 4. 

Who will prevail and take home the trophy in 2025? 

Here's everything you need to know about the WNBA Finals, including TV channel and streaming options for the title series.
