Valkyries repeat as WNBA's most valuable franchise, surge to $850 million valuation

For the second consecutive year, the Golden State Valkyries have been named Sportico’s most valuable WNBA franchise.

The Valkyries have far and away exceeded their Sportico evaluation from last year. Valued at $500 million in 2025, Golden State’s 2026 season valuation has come in at $850 million — a 70% increase.

Entering their second year, the Valkyries announced they have sold out their estimated 12,000 season tickets. Last year, Golden State led the league in attendance as it sold out every home game.

The Valkyries set a league record in average attendance per game (18,064) and fans (397,408).
