Toronto's New WNBA Team Seeks Fan Input

Toronto's new WNBA team, set to debut in May 2026, is soliciting input from Canadians to help shape its identity. Fans can submit name ideas, color schemes, personal anecdotes, and other creative suggestions via NameYourTeam.ca or by texting WNBA to 1-833-662-3664 until August 28. A group of designers and advisors will review all submissions to create a shortlist, which will undergo legal vetting before the final selection is announced by the end of the year. Team President Teresa Resch emphasizes the importance of community involvement to ensure the team represents Canada as a whole. The team will play at Coca-Cola Coliseum and occasionally at Scotiabank Arena. This initiative marks Toronto's WNBA team as the first franchise outside the U.S.
