The WNBA is gearing up for its landmark 30th season, and the future stars of the league will be unveiled tonight at the 2026 WNBA Draft. This is where dreams become reality for top collegiate athletes, setting the stage for the next era of women's basketball.

All eyes are on the Dallas Wings, who hold the coveted first overall pick for the second consecutive year. Last year, they hit a home run by selecting eventual Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers. This time, projections suggest they will choose between two elite prospects: TCU's dynamic guard Olivia Miles or UConn's sharpshooting legend Azzi Fudd.

For fans of Texas women's basketball, keep an eye on guard Rori Harmon, who is projected as a solid second-round selection. The draft also carries extra significance for the Connecticut Sun, as the franchise prepares for its historic relocation to Houston to revive the Comets, beginning play in 2027.

This draft marks a new chapter for the league, featuring two expansion teams—the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire—making their first-ever selections. In a monumental shift for the sport, a new collective bargaining agreement has dramatically increased rookie salaries, with first-year minimums jumping to $270,000 and the top pick eligible for up to $500,000.

Stay tuned for live updates on all the major picks as the next generation of WNBA talent finds their professional homes.
