Best WNBA Teams 2026
1. Minnesota Lynx
Napheesa Collier has returned, making the Lynx the obvious championship favorites at this point in the season.
2. Las Vegas Aces
A’ja Wilson remains the best player in the league, trading as a huge favorite for a fifth MVP trophy in the latest WNBA MVP odds.
3. Golden State Valkyries
Forward Janelle Salaün is the betting favorite in the updated WNBA Sixth Player of the Year odds. And Gabby Williams now leads the WNBA Defensive Player of the Year race.
4. Indiana Fever
Caitlin Clark and Co. are starting to heat up, giving the Fever legitimate championship aspirations.
5. Atlanta Dream
The Dream have regressed a bit in Year 2 of the Karl Smesko era, but they remain a formidable threat.
6. New York Liberty
The Liberty have underperformed as the preseason title favorites, but this roster is still extremely talented on paper.
7. Dallas Wings
The Wings have hit a bit of a funk, finding new ways to lose games. This could be an important stretch for their playoff chances.
8. Washington Mystics
Sonia Citron leads an exciting young core that has plenty of potential.
9. Phoenix Mercury
Following a surprising trade for Kelsey Plum, the Mercury need to go on a strong run to make a postseason push.
10. Chicago Sky
The Sky have been playing better since DiJonai Carrington returned to the lineup.
11. Portland Fire
Portland is in a bit of a lull, but this has still been a promising first season as an expansion franchise.
12. Toronto Tempo
Marina Mabrey must be enjoying life in Toronto after matching the WNBA record for most points in a game (53).
13. Los Angeles Sparks
The Sparks have finally turned their attention to a rebuild after trading away Plum.
14. Connecticut Sun
The Sun are taking a solid young core with them to Houston next year.
15. Seattle Storm
Seattle has two of the youngest WNBA players, Awa Fam and Dominique Malonga. This has certainly been a rebuild season.
