The Bay Breakers host the Denver Onyx as both teams kick off their 2026 WER campaigns at Heart Health Stadium in Sacramento!

This game marks the first WER game held at Heart Health Stadium as the reigning champion Denver Onyx start their title defence campaign on the road. The Onyx recorded a near-flawless inaugural season with a 9-1 regular season record, surely looking to at least equal that in WER’s 2nd campaign. The Bay Breakers finished 3rd in 2025 with a 6-4 record just a single point behind the New York Exiles and a chance to fight for the Legacy Cup. After coming so close last season, the Breakers will look to improve on their 32pts from last year.

The Denver Onyx hold a 2-0 lead in the series between these two franchises, with the most recent meeting a 17-40 road victory for the Onyx. How will the Breakers fare this time around?
