The PWHL is expanding to Seattle next season, following last week's announcement that Vancouver is also getting a team.

PWHL began play last year with six teams, but 'Takeover Tour' attendance showed potential for growth. Two new teams will join for the 2025-26 season.

Seattle is the PWHL’s second expansion team after the announcement of Vancouver last week, and the league’s eighth franchise, with the original six markets in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Boston, New York and Minnesota. The team will join the league’s single-entity ownership structure under The Walter Group.
