Updated 2026 WNBA Championship Odds and Standings
Minnesota sits atop the leaderboard with a 22-6 record through their first 28 games, according to DraftKings Sportsbook data. The Lynx hold three more wins than the next-closest franchise and maintain the league’s only double-digit NETRTG at 10.3, powered by an active seven-game winning streak. Rookie standout Olivia Miles anchors the squad alongside Kayla McBride, Natasha Howard, and Courtney Williams. Meanwhile, four-time All-WNBA honoree Napheesa Collier returned to the floor prior to the All-Star break after missing the first 10 weeks due to offseason ankle surgeries.
The Las Vegas Aces stand as the primary challenger on the odds board, listed second at +350 value according to DraftKings. The reigning champions hold an 18-8 record, good for the third-best mark in the league, alongside a NETRTG of 5.8 that ranks fourth. Multi-time MVP A’ja Wilson continues to serve as the cornerstone piece for the franchise.
Contenders and Dark Horses in the Playoff Race
A secondary tier of contenders features the New York Liberty at +700 and the Golden State Valkyries at +800. The Liberty hold a 15-12 record after navigating significant injuries, with Sabrina Ionescu playing just 15 games and Satou Sabally missing 10 straight contests, despite full health from Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones. Upstart franchise Golden State holds the second-best record in the WNBA at 19-8 behind a tough defense and strong play from Gabby Williams, though questions remain regarding overall scoring depth.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on health reports down the stretch. Teams like New York rely heavily on returning key starters from injury to shift their championship trajectory before the late September postseason.
A third tier of title hopefuls includes the Atlanta Dream at +1500 with a 16-10 record driven by Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, and Angel Reese. The Indiana Fever follow at +1800 with a 17-10 record, featuring a star-studded roster of Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aliyah Boston alongside notable defensive concerns. The Dallas Wings round out this group as a dark horse at +2200, boasting an 18-9 record behind young standout Paige Bueckers, Jessica Shepard, and Arike Ogunbowale.
