The WNBA is making a historic leap beyond U.S. borders with the launch of a new franchise in Toronto, set to begin play in the 2026 season. This marks a major milestone for women's sports in Canada, as the league expands its reach and influence. The team has been awarded to Kilmer Sports Inc., led by billionaire Larry Tanenbaum—a key figure in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE), which owns the Raptors and Maple Leafs.The Toronto team will play at Coca-Cola Coliseum, home of the AHL's Toronto Marlies, offering a familiar venue for local fans. This move follows the overwhelming success of a 2023 WNBA preseason game at Scotiabank Arena, which sold out and showcased Toronto's strong appetite for women's basketball.This expansion aligns with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's goal to grow the league to 16 teams, increasing its visibility and impact. It also coincides with a basketball boom in Canada, fueled by stars like Kia Nurse and the country's bronze medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.Canadian Women and Sport CEO Allison Sandmeyer-Graves highlighted the broader benefits of the franchise, from commercial growth to inspiring the next generation of athletes. The new team is expected to deepen support for women's sports nationwide and energize the city's thriving sports culture.Founded in 1996, the WNBA has grown to 12 teams and a May September season, with a storied history that includes icons like the Houston Comets. Toronto's inclusion signals the league's commitment to global growth and providing more opportunities for women in sports. more
