Golden State Valkyries 2026 Broadcast Schedule: Dates, Tip Off, TV Channel for Every Game
The Golden State Valkyries step into the 2026 season the hard way: on the road, under the lights, against a team that knows how to test newcomers.
The season opens Friday, May 8, at Seattle with a 7 p.m. Pacific tip. That’s a baptism by fire. Seattle doesn’t give away clean looks or easy wins, and starting there tells you the Valkyries aren’t being eased into the league. This opener is about composure, not comfort.
Two days later, the Valkyries make their home debut on Sunday, May 10, hosting Phoenix at 5:30 p.m. Pacific. First impressions matter, and this is the first chance for the Bay Area crowd to see what this team actually looks like when the ball goes up for real. Expect energy, nerves, and a building still learning its own voice.
The early schedule is dense and revealing. May features a steady mix of home games and East Coast travel, including road trips to New York and Indiana before closing the month with a high-profile home game against Las Vegas on May 31. There’s no soft runway here—just repetition and learning on the fly.
June is where the Valkyries’ identity really gets stress-tested. The month includes repeated clashes with Las Vegas, Seattle, Minnesota, and Dallas, plus the first meetings with fellow expansion team Portland. This stretch will show whether Golden State can adjust quickly or whether the league starts solving them faster than they’d like.
