The 2026 WNBA season is shaping up to be a historic one, and Lady Vols fans have plenty of reasons to cheer. With tip-off set for May 8, the league will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a 44-game regular season—a milestone that reflects just how far women's basketball has come.

This season brings exciting changes. Two expansion teams, the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo, join the lineup, marking the league's continued growth. Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun will relocate to Houston, Texas, after the season ends, adding another chapter to the WNBA's evolving story.

Mark your calendars for key dates: the sixth annual WNBA Commissioner's Cup in-season tournament runs from June 1-17, and the All-Star Game lights up Chicago's United Center on July 25, hosted by the Sky. A FIBA break from August 31 to September 16 will pause play, with the regular season wrapping up on September 24.

For Tennessee fans, the 2026 draft was a proud moment. Janiah Barker and Zee Spearman became the 47th and 48th Lady Vols ever selected in the WNBA draft. Barker went 29th overall in the second round to Las Vegas, while Spearman was picked 31st in the third round by Dallas. These two join a legacy of elite talent from Rocky Top.

So, which former Lady Vols are suiting up for the 2026 season? Here's a look at the rosters—a testament to Tennessee's enduring impact on the professional game.
