The wait is finally over! In this episode of Podhalla, Garrett and Brian Gonzales deliver the definitive Golden State Valkyries Season Preview. With the 2026 WNBA season tipping off, we’re breaking down everything fans need to know about the Bay Area’s newest pro franchise.

We start our Valkyries Season Preview by discussing realistic expectations for this expansion squad. Which teams are poised to jump ahead of Golden State, and who might struggle this season? We outline the "Path to Success"—what needs to go right for a playoff push—and the potential pitfalls that could lead to a rocky start.

Next, we cover the latest Valkyries news and roster shakeups. It’s been a busy week of transactions leading up to the opener:

Marta Suarez leaves Golden State for a developmental spot in Phoenix.

Ashlon Jackson departs for Connecticut.

Miela Sowah officially joins the developmental roster.

We analyze these moves and give our final Predictions for the 12-woman roster. Who survives the final cuts to make history on opening night?

Finally, we zoom out to the broader league with our 2026 WNBA Season Predictions. Brian and Garrett put their reputations on the line picking the WNBA Finals matchup, the 2026 Champion, and the major award winners including League MVP and Rookie of the Year.
