After wrapping up March Madness, the best women's basketball players in the country are headed to New York City for the 2026 WNBA Draft.
While fans have a general idea of where their favorite players could go, Monday's draft will be different than years past, as there's not a clear-cut overall No. 1 pick. Whereas Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers headlined 2024 and 2025, the Dallas Wings could go in several different directions with their first selection.
The picture was even more muddied with player performances during the NCAA Tournament. UCLA's Lauren Betts upped her draft stock exponentially after helping her team win the national championship, but UConn's Azzi Fudd dropped a few picks in the eyes of some experts.
Olivia Miles, Awa Fam, Kiki Rice and Flau'jae Johnson are also expected to go early in the first round.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2026 WNBA Draft, including TV and streaming options for the annual event.
