About this Event
The playoffs are here, and we’re getting together to watch women win!
Join Femme Fatale DC, BackcourtIQ, and DCGBL Women+ for a low-key WNBA Playoff Watch Party as we cheer on the Washington Mystics!
Come through an hour before tip-off to hang out, meet other Mystics and WNBA fans, and get ready for the game. We’ll have two optional, donation-based creative activities available:
- Rhinestone Your Own Jersey with @glowintheparks: Bring a jersey, tote bag, or another item to customize with rhinestones.
- WNBA Stick-and-Stitch Embroidery with Femme Fatale DC: Choose from embroidery designs inspired by the WNBA and the Washington Mystics, then stitch one onto a jersey, tote bag, or another item you bring.
The activities are completely optional, with no agenda and no pressure to participate. Come solo, bring your crew, or meet us somewhere in between.
Then, it’s time to watch the game together—because there’s nothing like experiencing playoff basketball with a room full of people who are just as invested as you are.
We're watching at Metro Bar, and drinks and food will be available for purchase. Remember to support local businesses by grabbing a drink or a bite while you're there! Activity supplies will be available while they last. We're so excited to cheer on the Mystics with you!

BackcourtIQ
BackcourtIQ is a women’s basketball platform built at the intersection of community, analytics, and storytelling. It turns the numbers into insights anyone can follow, spotlights the players and moments that matter, and gives fans a place to talk hoops beyond the box score. Founded in the DMV, BackcourtIQ believes women’s basketball is worth watching closer—and worth watching together.

DCGBL Women+ is part of the DC Gay Basketball League, a member league of Team DC, building a basketball community where women, trans, and nonbinary players across the DMV can compete, connect, and belong. In 2026, DCGBL made history by launching its first-ever Women+ division, creating a space for more players to take the court and see themselves represented within the DCGBL community. Now, as we head into our second season, we’re building beyond the league, creating year-round opportunities to play, compete, build relationships, and grow a community that extends far beyond the court.
