The Cleveland Rockers, formally of the WNBA, could be coming back to the 216! Multiple sources have confirmed that the WNBA is likely bringing back a team to Cleveland come 2028. Cleveland previously had a WNBA team — the Rockers — from 1997 to 2003. The WNBA is adding three expansion teams in the next two seasons with Golden State, Portland and Toronto joining to boost the league’s franchises to 15. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said last year the WNBA would like to add a 16th team by the 2028 season. And now, according to the Sports Business Journal, Cleveland has beat out other cities for a potential expansion (their bid is reportedly a league record of approximate $250 million). However, along with Cleveland, the league is reportedly looking to add two other teams. Frontrunner cities for those include Philadelphia, Houston, Nashville, Detroit and Miami. An official announcement is expected by March.
