The 2026 WNBA season is set to ignite with the Las Vegas Aces, New York Liberty, and Indiana Fever leading the pack. The Aces, defending champs, have reinforced their lineup with Aja Wilson and Chennedy Carter. The Liberty, bolstered by Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, sit at number two. The Fever, with a healthy Caitlin Clark, round out the top three. Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo, the newest additions, start at the bottom following zero-and-two preseason records. Dallas Wings, with impressive wins over Indiana and Vegas, have climbed to number five, thanks to Paige Bueckers standout performance. Injuries have disrupted the landscape, with Brionna Jones out for Atlanta and Ionescu undergoing an MRI in New York. Minnesota Lynx, despite roster changes and Napheesa Colliers ankle surgeries, maintain hope with their core players like Kayla McBride. Preseason surprises include Phoenix Mercury and Los Angeles Sparks undefeated records, and Seattle Storms promising rookie Flaujae Johnson. Rosters lock in tomorrow, but one things certain: this season promises intense competition and exciting new talent. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
