[9/8/26] Game On America Sports: WNBA COMMISSIONER OUT?!

A • 52m • 2026 • Sports

Cathy Engelbert is retiring at the end of the year — the league's first-ever commissioner, out after seven years, with no successor process announced. Sarah Strackhouse walks through what she actually built: 12 franchises heading to 18 by 2030, a $75 million capital raise, and record viewership, attendance, merchandise and League Pass numbers. Adam Silver's statement calls it "the most significant period of growth in the league's 30-year history."
