The 2025 WNBA season enters the home stretch with the playoffs just days away.
The Minnesota Lynx recently passed the New York Liberty as WNBA odds favorites to win the championship. New York won its first title in franchise history with a 3-2 series victory over Minnesota in last year’s WNBA Finals.
However, the Lynx have been the better team all year.
Check out how the league stacks up at this point in the 2025 campaign:

Best WNBA Teams, 2025
1. Minnesota Lynx
The Lynx have the best record in the league by a comfortable margin. They will be the No. 1 seed in the postseason, a promising sign for the team with the best home-court advantage in 2025.
2. Las Vegas Aces
No team is hotter than the Aces, who have won 12 in a row to climb up to the No. 2 seed. Las Vegas saved its season by removing Jewell Loyd from the starting lineup.
3. Atlanta Dream
It’s a shame that Karl Smesko won’t win Coach of the Year. In his first season at the helm, the Dream are second in offensive rating after being last in 2024.
4. Phoenix Mercury
Alyssa Thomas continues to build on her lead among players with the most triple-doubles in WNBA history, notching her seventh of the season against the Los Angeles Sparks on Aug. 26.
5. New York Liberty
The Liberty have dealt with injuries for much of the regular season, but appear to be healthy in the final days of the regular season. Can they flip the switch in the postseason to defend their title?
6. Golden State Valkyries
The Valkyries are the first expansion team ever to make the playoffs in their inaugural season. Natalie Nakase has done a terrific job as this team’s head coach.
7. Indiana Fever
Caitlin Clark was limited to 13 games in her sophomore campaign, causing the Fever to underperform after having championship expectations to start the season.
8. Seattle Storm
The Storm should hold off the Sparks for the final spot in the latest WNBA playoff bracket, but this wasn’t the season they expected to have as one of the older teams in the league.
9. Los Angeles Sparks
Since starting 5-13, the Sparks have been one of the more fun teams to follow. But it may be too late for their postseason aspirations.
10. Washington Mystics
Washington crushed the draft, as rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen have been better than expected in their debut season.
11. Connecticut Sun
It’s unclear whether the Connecticut Sun will relocate to Boston, but they could have a promising young team by then, if the first season of their rebuild is any indication.
12. Dallas Wings
After being drafted No. 1 overall, Paige Bueckers is having a historic rookie season for the Wings.
13. Chicago Sky
The Sky’s season went from bad to worse in the final days after Angel Reese voiced her frustration about how this campaign unfolded.
