Golden State Valkyries history
The Bay Area's WNBA team began playing in the 2025 season after being founded in 2023. Games take place at Chase Center in San Francisco, a large arena that holds 18,064, while the practice gym and front office are across the bay in Oakland. The Valkyries compete in the Western Conference.
Being such a young club, Golden State has not won a championship yet. That gives the franchise a clean slate and a story still being written. The violet and gold look stands out on any court, and splitting daily life between two cities gives the team a foothold on both sides of the water. Fans in San Francisco get the game nights, and Oakland gets the day to day work of practice, planning and front office business. Expect the history section of this page to grow fast.
