Jacksonville Axemen
Jacksonville Waves
Coming soon in May 2026! The Jacksonville Waves are one of the inaugural franchises of the UpShot League, a women’s professional basketball league.
The Waves represent Jacksonville with a blend of athleticism, community pride and competitive spirit. Their name and branding take inspiration both from the city’s coastal geography and the legacy of the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) who served at Naval Air Station Jacksonville.
Their home games will take place at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena (300 A Philip Randolph Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32202) located at the Sports Complex Downtown.
