San Francisco, California – Zendaya cheered on her hometown WNBA team as the Golden State Valkyries took a 3-2 series lead over the Atlanta Dream in the Finals.
The 30-year-old actor – a native of Oakland, California – was spotted in the crowd of Monday’s showdown, cheering on the Valkyries in a purple WNBA Finals t-shirt.
Golden State’s 64-55 victory brings them to the brink of a title in just their second season as a franchise.
Though Zendaya’s hubby Tom Holland wasn’t in attendance, she cheered the team on alongside her niece and her mom.

The Euphoria star’s passion for her hometown teams has been well-documented, as she took Tom to watch the Golden State Warriors in the NBA playoffs back in 2023.
Though the WNBA Finals have brought the star power with attendees like Zendaya, the games have been marred by some off-court drama.
Game 5 – to be hosted by the Atlanta Dream on Thursday – didn’t have a set venue due to a scheduled regular-season game for the Hawks at State Farm Arena.
Ultimately, the league announced that the game would take place at 12:30 PM ET, while the Hawks will tip off at 8 PM.
The compromise was met with some mixed reactions, as the unconventional start time – falling at 9:30 AM PT for Golden State fans – isn’t the easiest for most to catch a potential championship clinch on live TV.
