The PWHL is expanding to Seattle and Vancouver for the 2025-26 season, bringing the total number of teams to eight. Despite this growth, the league isn’t anticipated to significantly alter its current model. Commissioner Amy Scheer emphasizes a focus on sustainability and thoughtful development rather than rapid expansion. This likely means maintaining the existing player pool and carefully managing resources to ensure the long-term health of the league. Further expansion beyond these two cities is unlikely in the immediate future as the PWHL prioritizes stability and building a strong foundation.
