PWHL ADDS SEATTLE AS 2ND EXPANSION FRANCHISE ALONGSIDE VANCOUVER FOR 2025-26

The PWHL will expand to eight teams next season by adding Seattle as its second new franchise alongside Vancouver.

Seattle’s addition, announced Wednesday, gives the PWHL a strong foothold in the Pacific Northwest and comes a week after the unveiling of the new team in Vancouver for the 2025-26 season. The westward move broadens the league’s reach across the continent in two markets with a history supporting women’s sports and separated by just a three-hour drive.
