After struggling to a sub-.500 record halfway through the season, they went on a historic tear to close the regular season, and added yet another championship to their trophy case. Of course, A\u2019ja Wilson was at the center of things.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to look forward to the 2026 <a data-autolink-id=\"3993\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.draftkings.com\/leagues\/basketball\/wnba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">WNBA championship odds<\/a>. Here\u2019s the field as things currently stand:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Image-10-10-25-at-8.52-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-304787\" width=\"1024\" height=\"707\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The Minnesota Lynx lead with +300 odds after putting together the best regular-season record in the WNBA this season. Napheesa Collier\u2019s knee and a battle-hardened Phoenix Mercury team undid them, but they\u2019ll be a force next season.<\/p>\n<p>The last two champions are tied at +330 odds. Las Vegas, who just won up its third title in four seasons, has the second-best odds as it hopes to continue the dynasty. The New York Liberty, the only non-Vegas winner in the last four seasons, are also at +330. Indiana trails close behind, as the Fever will hope a healthy Caitlin Clark takes them far. Phoenix, fresh off its sweep at the hands of the Aces, have the fifth-best odds at +1000 before you get to the true long shots.<\/p>\n<p>The champagne is popped. Confetti has fallen. Now it\u2019s time to get hyped for next WNBA season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charlie Cummings breaks down the opening odds for the 2026 WNBA championship after the Aces won the 2025&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[3841,99,434],"class_list":["post-215818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-rail","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215818","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=215818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
