WNBA Golden State has secured over 6,000 season ticket deposits since the franchise was announced last October. The expansion team, scheduled to begin play during the 2025 season, is the WNBA affiliate of the NBA Golden State Warriors.
“It is such an incredible time to rally the Bay Area community around women’s basketball and the WNBA,” franchise president Jess Smith said. “Viewership and excitement for the recent NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament and the 2024 WNBA Draft are just the beginning. We cannot wait to continue building a team worthy of the support we’re seeing to date.”
While the team’s headquarters will be in Oakland, it will play its home games at Chase Center in San Francisco. WNBA Golden State is the first WNBA expansion team since 2008.
The team has yet to reveal a logo and brand identity. Fans can still place deposits at wnba.com/goldenstate.
