The WNBA is expanding, and in 2026 it will do so in Canada with the arrival of a new franchise. It will be the fourteenth team to play in the league and it will play in an 8,000-seat arena, which will be shared with the city's Professional Women's Hockey League club. Vancouver and Montreal will also host games.
