Though the WNBA offseason is still young, the action and events of the offseason won’t stop leading up to the start of the new year.
With the WNBA Draft Lottery now in the books and the 2025 WNBA draft order now known, a unique offseason in the league continues in December with something that hasn’t happened since 2008. On December 6th, the WNBA will host its first Expansion Draft in 16 years with the insertion of the Golden State Valkyries as the league’s 13th franchise. There will be more expansion drafts in offseasons to follow as the league expands even further, so this will be the norm for the next few years.
