The WNBA is expanding to the Bay Area with the Golden State Warriors organization announcing Thursday that a new franchise will join the league for the 2025 season.
The announcement brings the league up to 13 franchises and marks the first time a new team is joining the association since 2008.
“We are thrilled about expanding to the Bay Area and bringing the WNBA to a region with passionate basketball fans and a strong history of supporting women’s basketball,” said league commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
