WNBA expansion in Philadelphia, Cleveland and Detroit officially approved
Three new franchises are on the way in the WNBA.
The WNBA and NBA Board of Governors on Thursday formally approved new expansion teams coming to Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia.
The initial announcement of expanding to those cities, totaling to 18 teams, came on June 30, 2025. The movement was subject to the approval, which is now formal.
Cleveland will begin play first in the 2028 season, with Detroit following in 2029. Philadelphia will be last in 2030.
