The lottery for the 2026 WNBA draft will take place Nov. 23 on ESPN, the league announced Friday.
The Dallas Wings , Minnesota Lynx , Seattle Storm , Washington Mystics and Chicago Sky all qualified for the upcoming lottery, which will air at 6:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).
Lottery odds are based on the cumulative records of the past two WNBA regular seasons for the five teams that did not make the playoffs in the most recent season. This year, two trades landed Minnesota and Seattle in the lottery.
With a cumulative record of 19-15, the Wings have the most chances to land the top pick (420 out of 1,000) and are guaranteed at least a top-three pick. Dallas had the No. 1 selection in the 2025 draft and selected UConn 's Paige Bueckers , who was named Rookie of the Year.
