The Professional Women's Hockey League will announce San Jose, Calif., as the home of its 12th franchise on Tuesday, The Athletic reported Monday.
It will be the fourth expansion team starting play in 2026-27, along with Detroit, Las Vegas and Hamilton, Ontario.
The PWHL has a press conference scheduled for 12:45 p.m. PT on Tuesday at the SAP Center, home of the NHL's San Jose Sharks.
The PWHL has now doubled in size from its original six members in 2023: Boston, Minnesota, Montreal, New York, Ottawa and Toronto. Vancouver and Seattle entered the league in 2025.
The Bay Area has been a popular expansion choice lately in professional women's sports, with the Golden State Valkyries joining the WNBA in 2025 and Bay FC joining the NWSL in 2024.
