Golden State have gone from expansion newcomers to top-of-the-table contenders in just two seasons, and now the Valkyries are preparing for a serious WNBA playoff push.
AIVIASPORT is dedicated to women's sport, providing comprehensive coverage of the world's biggest competitions. We follow the leading leagues, tours, and tournaments throughout the season with the latest news, fixtures, results, standings, rankings, transfers, and analysis.
Our football coverage includes competitions such as the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), Women's Super League (WSL), Liga F, Frauen-Bundesliga, Première Ligue, Serie A Femminile, Toppserien, Kvindeliga, and Damallsvenskan. In tennis, we cover the WTA Tour and all four Grand Slam tournaments, while our golf coverage focuses on the LPGA Tour, the Ladies European Tour (LET), and the sport's major championships.
From domestic leagues to the biggest international events, VIASPORT brings together women's football, tennis, and golf in one dedicated destination.
What a difference a year makes. The Golden State Valkyries have transformed themselves from promising newcomers into genuine WNBA powerhouses, clinching a playoff berth and surging to the top of the league standings.
Last season, their debut campaign yielded 23 victories. Now they sit at the summit, a remarkable trajectory for a franchise still finding its feet.
The decision to trade Flau'jae Johnson during the WNBA Draft raised eyebrows, but it hasn't slowed the Valkyries one bit. Veronica Burton and Kayla Thornton have been instrumental, while the arrival of Gabby Williams has injected fresh quality into the roster.
Janelle Salaun, meanwhile, is firmly in the conversation for Sixth Player of the Year - a testament to Golden State's impressive bench strength.
The postseason tips off on Sunday, 27 September, though Golden State's first-round opponent remains unknown. Seedings will be confirmed when the regular season wraps up on 24 September.
This year's format features eight teams competing in best-of-three first-round series, best-of-five semi-finals, and a best-of-seven finals. Fans eager to attend can grab tickets via StubHub.
