The new WNBA team is slated to play at Chase Center in San Francisco starting in 2025 and would be the 13th franchise in the league.
It’s official: The WNBA is finally coming to the San Francisco Bay Area. The Golden State Warriors were awarded the 13th team in the WNBA on Thursday, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced. News of the soon-to-come expansion was first reported by the Athletic last week. The new team is slated to play at Chase Center in San Francisco starting in 2025. They will use the Warriors’ old practice facility in Oakland as their non-game-day home.
But the W is finally coming to the Bay Area, which has long been considered a leading market for an expansion team. Earlier this year, Engelbert said that it “doesn’t seem right” that the Bay Area is without a team. The region had two interested bidders, with the Warriors looking to bring a team to SF and the African American Sports & Entertainment Group seeking a team to play in Oakland.
