The WNBA landscape is ready to take shape for the new season once the league's free agency period begins on Feb. 1.
The Golden State Valkyries, the WNBA's 13th franchise, will officially begin play during the 2025 season, with at least two more expansion franchises, the Toronto Tempo and unnamed Portland franchise, to follow in 2026. The Valkyries selected their players in an expansion draft on Dec. 6, although they have plenty of cap space to play with during free agency.
