Only two years into existence the Golden State Valkyries authored one of the most improbable runs in WNBA history. This keepsake hardcover captures every moment of their 2026 championship season, from the regular-season surge to the franchise's first WNBA title, a Finals triumph over the Atlanta Dream.
Inside the Book
- Historic Sophomore Run: The Valkyries finished 32–12, second in the league behind the Minnesota Lynx, anchored by the WNBA's top-ranked defense, allowing just 75.1 points per game with a 100.6 defensive rating.
- Dominant Postseason Sweeps: Golden State opened the playoffs with a 2–1 first-round win over the Dallas Wings before sweeping defending champion Las Vegas Aces 3–0 to punch their ticket to the Finals.
- Record Comeback Win: On September 24 the Valkyries pulled off the largest comeback in franchise history, erasing a 16-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Sparks 76–75 behind Kaitlyn Chen's 18 second-half points and Gabby Williams' go-ahead three-pointer.
- Offseason and Core Additions: Gabby Williams led the team in scoring at 14.4 PPG in the regular season and an explosive 22.0 PPG in the postseason with Veronica Burton (5.7 APG) running the floor and Kiah Stokes anchoring the interior defense.
- Attendance Records: The Valkyries sold out every regular-season home game at Chase Center leading the WNBA in average (18,064) and total (397,408) attendance.
- WNBA Champions: Golden State capped its historic sophomore season with a Finals win over the Atlanta Dream to claim the franchise's first WNBA championship.
From a breakout defense to a franchise-defining comeback to a sold-out Chase Center to a WNBA title, this is the definitive record of the championship season that put the Bay Area on top of women's basketball.
