The reason for all the activity surrounding the WNBA—the protracted-but-ultimately-successful negotiations for a new CBA, an expansion draft for the league’s 14th and 15th teams, the college draft, a flurry of free agency moves and more—begins on Sunday, April 19.
That’s when WNBA training camps open and the league’s 15 teams begin their quest for the ultimate prize: the 2026 WNBA championship. (Or, the most lottery balls in the 2027 WNBA Draft.)

While training camp is when the tune ups begins for the WNBA’s stars and stalwarts, it’s a make-or-break, now-of-never chance for others to prove they’re worthy of one of 12 roster spots, from rookies drafted outside of the lottery to young players still on unprotected deals to W newcomers invited to their first camps to vets looking to maintain their place in the league.
Here’s a look at where every team’s roster stands as camp opens, with all players expected to participate in their teams’ camp identified by their contract statuses. Take to the comments to discuss who you think, or hope, will make the final roster for your favorite team.
