The Golden State Valkyries captured their first WNBA championship on Sunday, defeating the Atlanta Dream in a decisive Game 7 to complete a historic title run just two seasons after the franchise's inception.
The victory marks the fastest championship turnaround in WNBA history, with the expansion Valkyries hoisting the trophy in only their second year of existence. The series-clinching win came on November 1, 2026, cementing a remarkable ascent for the Bay Area franchise.
