The Toronto Tempo are the Greater Toronto Area's WNBA franchise and one of the most exciting expansion stories in recent sports history. The team is playing its inaugural season in 2026 — the first WNBA team in Canada and the first based anywhere outside the United States. Owned by Larry Tanenbaum's Kilmer Sports Ventures, the Tempo were awarded to Toronto and built from scratch, immediately shattering records for season-ticket sales before a single game was played.
The team plays its home games at the Coca-Cola Coliseum at Exhibition Place in Toronto. With a capacity of roughly 8,500, its intimate setting and the team's striking Borealis Blue and Tempo Bordeaux colors are quickly making it one of the most electric atmospheres in the WNBA.
The WNBA season runs differently from the NBA: from May through October, with no overlap. It's the perfect window to catch top-level basketball in the Greater Toronto Area during the summer and early fall, when the Raptors are off-season.
The Tempo are assembling their first-ever roster around a mix of established scorers, international talent and players to watch:
A proven WNBA scorer and three-point shooter, Mabrey gives the Tempo an experienced offensive engine in their inaugural year. Her shot-making and competitiveness make her one of the players to watch as the franchise finds its footing.
A guard from Hamilton, Ontario and a fixture of the Canadian national team, Nurse is exactly the kind of homegrown star Canada's first WNBA team was made for. Her leadership and connection to local fans make her a natural face of the franchise.
One of the league's most tenacious perimeter defenders, Sykes sets the tone on that end of the floor. Her on-ball pressure and energy give the brand-new Tempo a defensive identity from day one.
The franchise's first-ever head coach, Brondello is a two-time WNBA champion as a head coach and one of the most respected tacticians in the game. She brings instant credibility and a clear vision as she shapes the Tempo's identity from a blank page.
Around them, the inaugural roster blends international experience and youth — Belgian playmaker Julie Allemand, forwards Nyara Sabally and Isabelle Harrison, center Temi Fagbenle and young UCLA guard Kiki Rice. It's a group built from scratch, and every game is a chance to write the team's very first chapter.
With no titles, no retired numbers and no history yet, the Tempo are a franchise building its identity in real time. Record-setting season-ticket sales and the buzz around Canada's first WNBA team have already made the launch one of the most anticipated in WNBA expansion history.
The WNBA regular season runs from roughly May to September, followed by playoffs into October. It's a calendar complementary to the NBA — fans in the Greater Toronto Area can follow the Tempo in summer, then switch to the Raptors from October on.
