Toronto will be getting a WNBA team in 2026.
Drake speaks with Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri during the first half of NBA game between the Toronto Raptors and the Miami Heat at Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 1, 2022 in Toronto, Canada.For the first time in the league’s history, the WNBA will be expanding outside the United States by adding a team in Toronto starting with the 2026 season. So naturally, the Global Ambassador for the Toronto Raptors was in attendance.
The team’s owner Larry Tanenbaum added: “Today is a game-changing day not only for women’s basketball but also for sports in Canada. This franchise will be Canada’s team, and we are so excited to unite the country and inspire pride and passion in fans from coast to coast.” The new franchise has yet to pick a name or color scheme, but they will play at the Coca-Cola Coliseum at Exhibition Place in downtown Toronto with some games being played at Scotiabank Arena, the home of the Raptors. They also plan to build a state-of-the-art practice facility. We think it’s safe to assume Drake and his OVO brand will be as heavily involved with Toronto’s new WNBA franchise as they are with the NBA Toronto Raptors.
