Valkyries make history as first-ever women’s sports team to generate over $100 million in revenue

The Golden State Valkyries have shattered financial barriers in women’s sports, becoming the first team ever to surpass $100 million in annual revenue during their second season. Under the leadership of Joe Lacob—whose ownership group previously built the Golden State Warriors into a $14.5 billion NBA powerhouse—the Valkyries have redefined profitability in professional women’s athletics, now valued at $850 million and poised to reach a billion-dollar valuation within the year.

Their dominance extends beyond the ledger, with sold-out crowds at Chase Centre and a Finals matchup against the Atlanta Dream, featuring WNBA star Angel Reese, further fueling their financial momentum. Hosting Games 1, 2, 5, and 7 of the WNBA Finals at their home arena could push their earnings even higher, cementing their status as the most valuable women’s sports franchise globally.
