2026 WNBA Free Agency Tracker: Team-by-Team Breakdown

Host · Writer

Washington Mystics
Additions: Michaela Onyenwere; re-signed Shakira Austin after matching Toronto's offer sheet.

Losses: Brittney Sykes, Jacy Sheldon

2026 Season Outlook: Matching Austin changes the tone of Washington’s offseason considerably. Instead of looking like a team slipping further into a rebuild, the Mystics kept a foundational young center, added Onyenwere, and now have a more plausible path to remain competitive as their young core continues to develop.

Championship Odds: +22500
Atlanta Dream
Additions: Angel Reese (Trade); re-signed Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Brionna Jones, Jordin Canada, and Naz Hillmon.

Losses: Brittney Griner

2026 Season Outlook: Atlanta kept most of its core together and added Reese, so the Dream look every bit like a true win-now team.

Championship Odds: +600
Chicago Sky
Additions: Skylar Diggins, Azura Stevens, Jacy Sheldon (Trade), Rickea Jackson (Trade), DiJonai Carrington; re-signed Courtney Vandersloot.

Losses: Angel Reese, Ariel Atkins, Michaela Onyenwere

2026 Season Outlook: Following the trade of Reese, Chicago remade itself fast around veteran guards and versatile wings; the upside is obvious, but this is one of the league's biggest chemistry swings.

Championship Odds: +8000
Connecticut Sun
Additions: Brittney Griner, Kennedy Burke, Diamond Miller (Trade); re-signed Olivia Nelson-Ododa; retained Migna Toure on her qualifying offer

Losses: Marina Mabrey

2026 Season Outlook: The Sun are in a clear transition year, but Griner gives them a headline anchor and enough talent to be more competitive than a full teardown.

Championship Odds: +50000
Dallas Wings
Additions: Alanna Smith, Jessica Shepard, Lindsay Allen, Rayah Marshall (Trade); re-signed Arike Ogunbowale and Awak Kuier.

Losses: Luisa Geiselsoder, Haley Jones, Diamond Miller

2026 Season Outlook: Dallas has had one of the strongest offseasons in the league, adding proven frontcourt help, and keeping Ogunbowale in place alongside Paige Bueckers for what should be a serious playoff push.

Championship Odds: +4500
Golden State Valkyries
Additions: Gabby Williams; re-signed Veronica Burton, Kaila Charles, Iliana Rupert, Janelle Salaun, and Cecilia Zandalasini; activated Juste Jocyte’s rookie contract.

Losses: Monique Billings, Carla Leite

2026 Season Outlook: Golden State kept a lot of its identity intact and then added Williams, which should keep the Valkyries firmly in the playoff mix again.

Championship Odds: +3500
Indiana Fever
Additions: Monique Billings, Tyasha Harris; re-signed Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull, Sophie Cunningham, and Damiris Dantas.

Losses: Kristy Wallace

2026 Season Outlook: Indiana’s main job was keeping its core intact, and it largely did that while adding more depth and toughness around it. The Fever should enter 2026 expecting to contend, especially with a healthy Caitlin Clark.

Championship Odds: +450
Las Vegas Aces
Additions: Re-signed Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, and Cheyenne Parker-Tyus.

Losses: Aaliyah Nye

2026 Season Outlook: Las Vegas kept the heart of its championship core together, which is exactly what a title favorite needed to do.

Championship Odds: +500
Los Angeles Sparks
Additions: Nneka Ogwumike, Ariel Atkins (Trade); re-signed Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby.

Losses: Rickea Jackson, Julie Allemand

2026 Season Outlook: The Sparks leaned hard into experience and star power, so 2026 feels very much like a “win now” season in Los Angeles.

Championship Odds: +1300
Minnesota Lynx
Additions: Natasha Howard, Nia Coffey; re-signed Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride.

Losses: Alanna Smith, Bridget Carleton, Jessica Shepard, Maria Kliundikova

2026 Season Outlook: Minnesota still has enough veteran quality to stay relevant, but the turnover is substantial, and the Lynx took some real hits to their depth and continuity.

Championship Odds: +800
New York Liberty
Additions: Satou Sabally; re-signed Jonquel Jones.

Losses: Nyara Sabally, Kennedy Burke, Isabelle Harrison

2026 Season Outlook: New York added one of the biggest names on the market in Sabally, so the Liberty’s ceiling is championship-level again, even if the bench looks thinner than before.

Championship Odds: +220
Phoenix Mercury
Additions: Re-signed Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, DeWanna Bonner, Sami Whitcomb.

Losses: Satou Sabally

2026 Season Outlook: Phoenix kept most of its Finals-caliber nucleus together, which keeps the Mercury squarely in the contender tier despite Sabally’s exit.

Championship Odds: +2200
Portland Fire (Expansion Team)
Additions: Bridget Carleton, Carla Leite, Luisa Geiselsoder, Emily Engstler, Haley Jones, Nyadiew Puoch via expansion-draft buildout; signed Karlie Samuelson and Megan Gustafson.

Losses: —

2026 Season Outlook: Expansion growing pains are still likely, but Portland has already built a roster with enough size and versatility to avoid looking like a pushover.

Championship Odds: +30000
Seattle Storm
Additions: Jade Melbourne, Stefanie Dolson, Katie Lou Samuelson; re-signed Ezi Magbegor.

Losses: Skylar Diggins, Gabby Williams

2026 Season Outlook: Seattle added useful talent, but losing both Diggins and Williams is a major blow to the Storm’s playmaking, defense, and overall identity.

Championship Odds: +35000
Toronto Tempo (Expansion Team)
Additions: Marina Mabrey, Brittney Sykes, Julie Allemand, Isabelle Harrison, Kia Nurse; expansion-draft additions include Nyara Sabally and Aaliyah Nye.

Losses: —

2026 Season Outlook: Missing out on Shakira Austin lowers Toronto’s inaugural ceiling a bit, but the Tempo still look unusually credible for an expansion team.

Championship Odds: +10000
Washington Mystics
Additions: Michaela Onyenwere; re-signed Shakira Austin after matching Toronto's offer sheet.

Losses: Brittney Sykes, Jacy Sheldon

2026 Season Outlook: Matching Austin changes the tone of Washington’s offseason considerably. Instead of looking like a team slipping further into a rebuild, the Mystics kept a foundational young center, added Onyenwere, and now have a more plausible path to remain competitive as their young core continues to develop.

Championship Odds: +22500
Atlanta Dream
Additions: Angel Reese (Trade); re-signed Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Brionna Jones, Jordin Canada, and Naz Hillmon.

Losses: Brittney Griner

2026 Season Outlook: Atlanta kept most of its core together and added Reese, so the Dream look every bit like a true win-now team.

Championship Odds: +600
