WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced that the league will be expanding into Toronto for the 2026 season. It will be the league's first international team and gives the WNBA a 14th franchise.
The WNBA is extending its reach into Canada. On Thursday, the league announced that Toronto will be the home of the next expansion team, with a new franchise joining for the 2026 season. It will be the 14th team in the WNBA.
"The more we all recognize the value and potential in women's sports, the closer we get to a more equitable future in the world of sports," Tanenbaum said on Thursday. “Growing internationally, I’ve been trying to think through next steps on a global platform,” Englebert told the AP. “It helps us reach new audiences and bring in new partners. The thing I love about going to another country is that the young girls and boys get to see professional basketball for women is important, too.”
