The Dallas Wings have won the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA draft, marking the second straight year in which the franchise will get its top desired selection.<\/p>\n
The Wings entered the draft lottery, which was held Sunday night, with the best odds of winning the top pick<\/a>. The Minnesota Lynx won the No. 2 selection, followed by the Seattle Storm, Washington Mystics and Chicago Sky.<\/p>\n Last year, the Wings drafted Paige Bueckers with their No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft. Bueckers enjoyed a successful pro debut season in which she won WNBA Rookie of the Year<\/a>, putting up the third-most points (692) and assists (194) by a rookie in league history. The UConn product, who earned her first All-Star nod, also set a record for the most points scored by a rookie in a single game with 44 against the Sparks on Aug. 20.<\/p>\n With April’s draft still many months away, the Wings will have plenty of time to mull over their options for the top selection. Many current mocks<\/a> have UCLA center Lauren Betts, Spain’s Awa Fam and none other than Bueckers’s former Huskies teammate, Azzi Fudd, as the cream of the crop in the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n Here’s a table of the updated 2026 WNBA draft order for the first round:<\/p>\n 2026 WNBA Draft Pick No.<\/p>\n WNBA Team<\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n Dallas Wings<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Minnesota Lynx<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n Seattle Storm<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n Washington Mystics<\/p>\n 5<\/p>\n Chicago Sky<\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n Toronto Tempo\/Portland Fire*<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n Toronto Tempo\/Portland Fire*<\/p>\n 8<\/p>\n Golden State Valkyries<\/p>\n 9<\/p>\n Washington Mysics<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n Indiana Fever<\/p>\n 11<\/p>\n Washington Mystics<\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n Connecticut Sun<\/p>\n 13<\/p>\n Atlanta Dream<\/p>\n 14<\/p>\n Seattle Storm<\/p>\n 15<\/p>\n Connecticut Sun<\/p>\n *The Tempo and Fire will flip a coin for the No. 6 and No. 7 draft picks at a later date.<\/p>\n
