Seattle’s PWHL Expansion: What This Surprising Choice Means for the Future of Women’s Hockey
The PWHL plans to grow to 10 teams for its 2026-27 season, a person with knowledge of discussions told the AP on the condition of anonymity because the talks are private. The person said the league is accelerating its plans based on the strength of responses and feedback received during its eight-month expansion search in which the PWHL considered more than 20 markets.
Scheer didn’t entirely dispute the plan, without providing an exact timetable.
“I think we’ve been pretty clear from the outset that this is the first year of a multiyear process,” Scheer said as the PWHL closes the final week of the regular season. “It could come in Year 4. It could come Year 5. I think that those conversations are still being had.”
