How the WNBA Season Works

The Women's National Basketball Association is the top women's basketball league in the world. The 2026 season was its 30th, and it tipped off on May 8 with all 15 teams in action.

The regular season runs from May to late September. Each team plays 44 games, with 22 at home and 22 on the road.

The WNBA also runs the Commissioner's Cup, an in-season tournament built from selected regular-season games. The All-Star Game takes place in the middle of the season.

WNBA Teams by Conference

The 15 teams are split into 2 conferences. Conference matters for the Commissioner's Cup, but not for playoff seeding.

Eastern Conference (7 teams)	Western Conference (8 teams)
Atlanta Dream	Dallas Wings
Chicago Sky	Golden State Valkyries
Connecticut Sun	Las Vegas Aces
Indiana Fever	Los Angeles Sparks
New York Liberty	Minnesota Lynx
Toronto Tempo	Phoenix Mercury
Washington Mystics	Portland Fire
	Seattle Storm

WNBA Games Playoff Format

The top 8 teams in the overall standings qualify for the playoffs, whatever their conference. Teams are seeded by record, with 1 playing 8 in the first round.

Round	Series length	Home court
First Round	Best-of-three	Higher seed hosts Games 1 and 2.
Semifinals	Best-of-five	Higher seed hosts Games 1, 2 and 5.
WNBA Finals	Best-of-seven	Higher seed hosts Games 1, 2, 5 and 7.

The Las Vegas Aces won the 2025 title, the first WNBA Finals played as a best-of-seven. You can back next season's champion on our WNBA outrights tab, where offered.

WNBA Betting Markets

Every WNBA game comes with its own list of markets. These are the ones most players use.

Market	What you predict	Worth knowing
Winner	Which team wins the game, including overtime.	The simplest WNBA bet. Favourites pay less.
Handicap	Whether a team covers a points spread.	A favourite at -5.5 must win by 6 or more points.
Total points	Whether both teams combined score over or under a set number.	Totals include overtime, which can push a close line over.
1X2	Home win, draw or away win at the end of regulation.	The draw covers games tied after 40 minutes.
Quarter and half lines	Winner, handicap, or total for one quarter or half.	Useful for teams that start fast or fade late.

Market choice varies by game. Every market settles under our general betting rules, which explain how overtime and postponed games are handled.

Why WNBA Games Lines Differ From the NBA

A WNBA game has 4 quarters of 10 minutes, compared with 12-minute quarters in the NBA. Fewer minutes means fewer possessions and lower totals.

Rosters are also smaller, with 12 players per team. One injury to a starter can move a line further than it would in the NBA.

How to Read WNBA Odds

We show WNBA games odds in 3 formats: Decimal, American, and Hong Kong. Switch between them from the odds setting in the site menu.

Format	Favourite	Underdog	10 USDT on the underdog returns
Decimal	1.40	3.00	30 USDT (20 USDT profit)
American	-250	+200	30 USDT (20 USDT profit)
Hong Kong	0.40	2.00	30 USDT (20 USDT profit)

Decimal odds show your total return per 1 unit staked, stake included. Multiply your stake by the odds, so 10 USDT at 3.00 returns 30 USDT.

American odds use 100 as the base. A plus sign shows your profit on a 100 USDT stake. A minus sign shows what you stake to win 100 USDT.

Hong Kong odds show profit only. Multiply your stake by the odds, then add your stake back for the total return.

To see the chance a price implies, divide 1 by the decimal odds. WNBA odds of 3.00 imply roughly a 33% chance of winning.

What Moves WNBA Odds Before Tip-Off

WNBA odds shift between the opening line and tip-off. These 4 factors cause most of the movement.

• Injury reports: Teams list players as questionable or out before each game. A star's status can move a spread by several points.
• Back-to-backs and travel: Teams playing on consecutive days, or after a long trip, often tire late.
• Rest days: Coaches sometimes rest key players late in the season, once a playoff spot is secure.
• Betting volume: Heavy money on one side shortens that team's price and lengthens the other.

Live WNBA Betting

Pre-game bets lock in a price before tip-off. Live bets let you react to WNBA games today as they happen.

Live odds update after every basket, foul, and timeout. If a strong favourite trails at half-time, its live handicap can offer better value than the pre-game line. Find every game in progress on our live betting page.

Tips for Betting on WNBA Games

No tip guarantees a win. These habits help you make better-informed WNBA bets.

• Check the injury report late: With small rosters, one absence changes a lot. Wait for final statuses before betting.
• Watch the schedule: Back-to-backs and long road trips hit WNBA teams hard, especially in the second half of games.
• Adjust for pace: Fast teams push totals up. Compare both teams' recent scoring before betting overs.
• Treat expansion teams with care: New teams have short track records, so early-season lines can be less settled.
• Set a weekly budget: With WNBA games most nights, decide your stake for the week in advance.
