The New York Liberty, reigning WNBA champions, continue to win on and off the court. According to The Athletic, the franchise has completed a significant capital raise, boosting its valuation to a record-setting $450 million—the highest ever for a professional women’s sports team.
Though the number and identity of investors remain undisclosed, the new funding will support key growth initiatives, most notably the construction of a 75,000-square-foot practice facility announced in March. The state-of-the-art complex is expected to enhance player development and team operations significantly.
The Liberty’s historic valuation reflects growing investment interest in women’s sports and cements the team’s status as a leader in the space. With on-court dominance and off-court momentum, the franchise raises the bar for what’s possible in women’s professional basketball.
