The New York Liberty have dismissed head coach Chris DeMarco following an underwhelming first year at the helm. The decision was announced on November 3, 2026.
DeMarco led the team through the 2026 WNBA season, which ended with a playoff loss to the Minnesota Lynx. In the final game of the first-round series on September 29, 2026, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Liberty defeated the Lynx 87-71, but the series result was not enough to save his position.
The franchise did not immediately name a replacement.
