## Resource

Los Angeles is about to become the epicenter of women’s professional volleyball as Major League Volleyball unveils its new L.A. franchise set to launch in 2027, backed by billionaire Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong and investor Ben Priest. With an expansion fee rumored to be $15–20 million, this move signals serious investment in the sport’s growth, echoing Soon-Shiong’s vision of building a Lakers-like legacy for women’s athletics. Joining the WNBA’s Sparks and NWSL’s Angel City FC, the team will be the 11th in MLV — a league that merged with the Pro Volleyball Federation — while LOVB also plans an L.A. team in the same year. MLV’s expansion also targets Northern California, Minnesota, and Washington D.C., cementing L.A. as a powerhouse for women’s pro sports.
