It\u2019s never been easier for players to be heard and seen, and Instagram is often where that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Some stars, like Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers, brought millions of fans with them from their college days. The Chicago Sky forward, in particular, has found plenty of ways to connect beyond the game, from her \u201cUnapologetically Angel\u201d podcast to deals with major brands like Reebok and McDonald\u2019s. Others, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolt.tv\/article\/aja-wilson-sets-wnba-record-with-32-points-20-rebounds\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A\u2019ja Wilson<\/a> and Candace Parker, have spent years stacking championships, signing endorsements, and staying front and center in the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Together, they prove that today\u2019s WNBA stars know how to keep their influence strong after the final buzzer, through the finals, and even in the off-season. Below, REVOLT compiled a list of the 11 WNBA players with the most Instagram followers.<\/p>\n<p>        1. Angel Reese<\/p>\n<p>Image<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\".\/media_185bec7ce43e988c6ad37714cfa36be76c281311d.jpg?width=750&amp;format=jpg&amp;optimize=medium\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Image Credit<\/p>\n<p>Chris Coduto \/ Contributor via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Image Alt<\/p>\n<p>Angel Reese #5 of the Chicago Sky controls the ball during the second half against the Phoenix Mercury at PHX Arena on August 28, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. The Mercury defeated the Sky 83-79.<\/p>\n<p>Image Size<\/p>\n<p>portrait-medium<\/p>\n<p>Angel Reese shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise here. The basketball star built a massive following at LSU, where she drew fans like Shaq, LeBron James, and, yes, former President Barack Obama. That spotlight only grew bigger when she made it to the pros.<\/p>\n<p>Like a lot of players on this list, Reese has plenty going on when she\u2019s not playing. The Chi-Town Barbie launched the \u201cUnapologetically Angel\u201d podcast, where she chops it up with celebrities and fellow athletes, and she\u2019s leveraged deals with Reebok, McDonald\u2019s, and Reese\u2019s to amplify her bigger-than-basketball personality.<\/p>\n<p>        2. Caitlin Clark<\/p>\n<p>Caitlin Clark is a player who really doesn\u2019t need an introduction. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolt.tv\/article\/wnba-teams-and-the-stories-behind-them\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana Fever<\/a>, she\u2019s proven her worth every step of the way. Compared to some of her peers on this list, the point guard keeps things a little more private and lets her game do most of the talking.<\/p>\n<p>While she\u2019s aware of her popularity, Clark rejects the idea that it\u2019s her primary value. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be there because I\u2019m somebody that can bring attention,\u201d Clark told <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/7200904\/athlete-of-the-year-2024-caitlin-clark\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TIME<\/a>. \u201cI want to be there because they think I\u2019m good enough.\u201d That being said, there\u2019s a reason they call it the Caitlin Clark effect. Whether she\u2019s on the court or on social media, her following is massive.<\/p>\n<p>        3. Paige Bueckers<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d have to be living under a rock \u2014 or at least not paying attention to women\u2019s basketball \u2014 to not know who Paige Bueckers is. During her acceptance speech for Best Female College Athlete at the 2021 ESPY Awards, the UConn alum used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oFep9rY5QEM&amp;ab_channel=WBBClips\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">her speech<\/a> to spotlight Black women: &#8220;With the light that I have now as a white woman who leads a Black-led sport and celebrated here, I want to shine a light on Black women. They don&#8217;t get the media coverage that they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to her WNBA debut with the Dallas Wings, and Bueckers has become one of the league\u2019s must-know names. She\u2019s inked deals with Nike, Gatorade, and even Wingstop. Paige Bueckers, or Paige Buckets, if you will, is one of the most influential stars in the W\u2019s new era.<\/p>\n<p>        4. Sabrina Ionescu<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s almost a given that the biggest stars in college hoops turn into superstars in the pros, and Sabrina Ionescu is proof. During her run with the Oregon Ducks, she set the NCAA women\u2019s record for most career triple-doubles, then went No. 1 overall to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolt.tv\/article\/ellie-the-elephant-17-most-viral-moments\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Liberty<\/a>. Her star power isn\u2019t limited to the hardwood, with Ionescu partnering with Nike on more than a few occasions and making her Met Gala debut in 2025. What\u2019s it like to be this perfect, Sab?<\/p>\n<p>        5. Hailey Van Lith<\/p>\n<p>Hailey Van Lith is a lot like another favorite of ours, Reese. She suited up for LSU before heading to the Chicago Sky for her rookie season. The point guard has plenty of magnetic qualities: she\u2019s confident, competitive, and knows exactly how to own the moment. Add to that the fact she formed one of basketball\u2019s cutest couples with NBA guard Jalen Suggs, whom she began dating in 2021, and HVL is even easier to root for.<\/p>\n<p>        6. Cameron Brink<\/p>\n<p>If Cameron Brink weren\u2019t the power forward we all know and love, she\u2019d probably be a model. Oh, wait \u2014 she already is. In 2025, she crossed the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue off her bucket list, and if you\u2019ve been keeping tabs on the New Jersey native, you know she\u2019s stacked up a few more magazine spreads and brand partnerships since then. She also co-hosts \u201cStraight to Cam\u201d with Sydel Curry-Lee (yes, Steph Curry\u2019s sister). Pretty great side hustle, right?<\/p>\n<p>        7. A&#8217;ja Wilson<\/p>\n<p>A\u2019vengers, assemble! Odds are, you\u2019ve seen A\u2019ja Wilson somewhere. Maybe it was during her days with the South Carolina Gamecocks, her back-to-back championship run in 2022 and 2023, the debut of her signature A\u2019Ones, or even that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7DXn2wDA4AI&amp;ab_channel=Yahoo%21Sports\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">viral clip<\/a> of Usher feeding her a chocolate-covered strawberry. However you know her, Wilson is iconic in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n<p>        8. Jewell Loyd<\/p>\n<p>Jewell Loyd is the best of the best, so much so that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolt.tv\/article\/24-kobe-bryant-quotes-to-motivate-you\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kobe Bryant<\/a> nicknamed her the Gold Mamba. She entered the W in 2015 as the No. 1 draft pick, spending the bulk of her career with the Seattle Storm before joining the Aces a decade later. A bona fide basketball star, she\u2019s one of the league\u2019s highest-paid players (and rightfully so) and a proud representative of the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n<p>        9. Kelsey Plum<\/p>\n<p>Kelsey Plum does it for all the dawgs. The WNBA champ is a blast to follow on and off the court, mostly because she\u2019s never afraid to say exactly what\u2019s on her mind. Oh, and not many players in the league can say they\u2019ve got their own signature cigar.<\/p>\n<p>        10. Skylar Diggins<\/p>\n<p>Image<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\".\/media_1d0771e7b03e3a0e8f0c6e2ee04f44ab72b342f8a.jpg?width=750&amp;format=jpg&amp;optimize=medium\" width=\"4173\" height=\"2782\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Image Credit<\/p>\n<p>Steph Chambers \/ Staff via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Image Alt<\/p>\n<p>Skylar Diggins #4 of the Seattle Storm competes in the Kia WNBA Skills Challenge during the 2025 AT&amp;T WNBA All-Star weekend<\/p>\n<p>Image Size<\/p>\n<p>landscape-medium<\/p>\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love Skylar Diggins? She was a first-round WNBA Draft pick, an Olympic gold medalist, and checks every box you could want in a point guard (in our completely unbiased opinion, of course). She played most of her career with the Phoenix Mercury and Dallas Wings before her recent team moves. Even off the court, she\u2019s got serious style and an aura that people can\u2019t help but gravitate toward.<\/p>\n<p>        11. Candace Parker<\/p>\n<p>Candace Parker\u2019s basketball days are technically behind her, but she\u2019s just as influential in basketball now as she was on the court. After retiring in 2024, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolt.tv\/podcasts\/the-post-up-with-dj-tricey-trice\/ncaa-champions-revealed-lakers-avoid-play-in-nba-coaches-fired-wnba-draft-predictions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA champion<\/a> moved into sports broadcasting with TNT Sports before finding a new home on Amazon Prime\u2019s NBA On Prime. If you need more proof that she\u2019s multifaceted, just look at her r\u00e9sum\u00e9: president of Adidas Women\u2019s Basketball, co-host of \u201cPost Moves\u201d with Aliyah Boston, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image Image Credit Theo Wargo \/ Staff via Getty Images, Cindy Ord \/ Staff via Getty Images, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125410,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-125409","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
