The new WNBA team in Toronto will be called the Toronto Tempo, a name revealed quickly after a leak. The logo features a light-blue basketball with a "T" and a trail, symbolizing motion. Team colors will be blue and red. The name "Tempo" was chosen from over 10,000 submissions, reflecting control in the game. It aims to resonate with both English and French speakers, emphasizing a Canadian identity. The team will begin play in 2026. Toronto was awarded the WNBA franchise in May, marking the league's first team outside the U.S. The team will be owned by Kilmer Sports Ventures and will primarily play at the Coca-Cola Coliseum.
