Washington Commanders managing partner Josh Harris has another team. On Monday, the WNBA announced its latest round of expansion, awarding franchises to Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia. Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) will own and operate the franchise.

Harris released the following statement:

Philadelphia is one of the most storied basketball cities in the world, and our region is home to some of the greatest women’s players and coaches to ever grace the hardwood. It’s only right that this city finally gets the WNBA franchise it deserves, and we’re humbled to help usher in a new era of Philadelphia basketball. Thanks to my partners David Blitzer, David Adelman, Brian Roberts and the team at Comcast, and Governor Shapiro and Mayor Cherelle Parker for their collective leadership. We’re committed to building a world-class organization, fostering the continued growth of women’s professional sports in this great city, and bringing one of the fastest rising leagues in the world to Philadelphia in 2030.

The WNBA announced that the Cleveland franchise would begin play in 2028, the Detroit franchise in 2029 and Philadelphia in 2030.

Harris is now the managing partner for the Commanders, Philadelphia 76ers (NBA), New Jersey Devils (NHL) and the new WNBA franchise. Harris is also a general partner for the Crystal Palace in the Premier League. He also owns a minority stake in Joe Gibbs Racing.

While Philadelphia fans view Harris one way, he is beloved in his native Washington. Since taking over in 2023, Harris has brought respectability and winning back to the Commanders. He and his partners have also invested heavily in Northwest Stadium and Washington’s headquarters in Ashburn, Virginia. Additionally, Harris is working to build a new stadium back in Washington, D.C., at the site of the old RFK Stadium.
