The future of the WNBA is being written tonight! The 2026 WNBA Draft is officially underway, with the Dallas Wings holding the coveted first overall pick. Fresh off selecting Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers in 2025, Dallas is looking for a franchise-altering co-star to accelerate their climb into contention.

All eyes are on the UCLA Bruins' championship core, expected to make a major splash. Dominant 6'7" center Lauren Betts is projected as a top-3 pick, bringing a graceful, old-school post presence. Teammates Gabriela Jaquez and Gianna Kneepkens, key to UCLA's title run, are also poised to hear their names called in the first round.

This year's class is stacked with versatile talent for every team need. From TCU's elite playmaker Olivia Miles to UConn's sharpshooter Azzi Fudd and LSU's defensive stopper Flau'Jae Johnson, the league is adding immediate impact players. International prospect Awa Fam from Spain offers the modern, mobile frontcourt skill set that teams crave.

Adding to the historic energy are the league's two new expansion franchises. The Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire, having built their initial rosters in the expansion draft, now enter the fray with the 6th and 7th overall picks, respectively, shaping their identities from the ground up.

Follow along below as we track every selection from all three rounds of this pivotal 2026 draft.
