New York Liberty have dismissed head coach Chris DeMarco following an underwhelming first year in charge, the team announced on Tuesday.

DeMarco, who was hired ahead of the 2026 season, guided the Liberty to a playoff appearance but the team fell short of expectations. The decision comes just over a month after New York's 87-71 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in Game 2 of the first round at Barclays Center on September 29.

The franchise did not immediately name a replacement.
