WNBA 2026 season and playoff developments

Overview

The WNBA regular season has entered its final stretch following the three-week FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup hiatus. While teams continue to compete for postseason seeding and home-court advantage ahead of the September 27 playoffs, all eight playoff spots have now been officially clinched.

In recent play, the Atlanta Dream secured a 103-59 victory over the Connecticut Sun. Angel Reese recorded 30 points and 10 rebounds during the matchup, marking her 30th double-double of the season and setting a new WNBA record. Additionally, Rhyne Howard established a new season record for three-pointers made during the same game. Despite these achievements, the Dream remain without Brionna Jones, who is sidelined for the rest of the season with a left leg injury.

The Minnesota Lynx maintain the top seed, while the New York Liberty and Washington Mystics are now closely competing for positioning. Regarding roster updates, the Dallas Wings previously waived veteran guard Sug Sutton following a season-ending hand injury.

As the postseason approaches, league discussions have centered on officiating consistency and how the international break has impacted player performance.
