Napheesa Collier<\/a> and the Minnesota Lynx<\/a> are the favorites to win the 2026 WNBA Championship, according to ESPN BET, with the Indiana Fever<\/a> and Las Vegas Aces<\/a> right behind them.<\/p>\n

The Aces closed out the 2025 WNBA Finals in a sweep over the Phoenix Mercury<\/a> to win their third championship in four years. There will once again be high expectations for A’ja Wilson<\/a> and crew, who opened at +250.<\/p>\n

Two new franchises, the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo, are expected to join the WNBA next season, and the Golden State Valkyries<\/a> will look to build on their expansion success when they made the playoffs in their first season.<\/p>\n
