The 2026 WNBA All-Star festivities start with the 3-Point Contest on Friday night at Wintrust Arena. 

It’s one of the most-anticipated events of the year, and even though Caitlin Clark isn’t participating, it should once again be an exciting contest to kick off the weekend.

In fact, we’ll have a new WNBA 3-Point Contest champion with a fresh field of sharpshooters.

Let’s take a look at 2026 WNBA 3-Point Contest participants and odds for Friday, July 24.

2026 WNBA 3-Point Contest Participants

Listed in alphabetical order

Bridget Carleton – Portland FireAzzi Fudd – Dallas WingsNatisha Hiedeman – Seattle StormRhyne Howard – Atlanta DreamMarina Mabrey – Toronto TempoJanelle Salaun – Golden State Valkyries

Only two of these six participants have played in the 3-Point Contest before, but none were in the event last year.

Marina Mabrey finished last in 2024, putting up just 19 points in the first round. Rhyne Howard made the second and final round in 2022, putting up 24 points in the first round before getting bested by champion Allie Quigley and runner-up Ariel Atkins in the final.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Azzi Fudd: +210Marina Mabrey: +300Janelle Salaun: +450Rhyne Howard: +600Bridget Carleton: +600Natisha Hiedeman: +900

Janelle Salaun is shooting 39.4% from deep this season to lead the field, with Marina Mabrey (39.2%) and Azzi Fudd (38.7%) right there as well. Bridget Carleton is next up at 37.4%, with Rhyne Howard (35.4%) and Natisha Hiedeman (34.3%) rounding out the field.

I always tend to look away from the favorites in All-Star events like these, so I’ll be fading Fudd as she participates in her rookie season. I like to bet on players who have participated in the event before, as they know what to expect.

Therefore, I’d take a chance on Howard at +600 to win it all. She made the final four years ago, and her 3.2 three-pointers per game are second in the league behind only Mabrey’s 3.3.
