Tracking every pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft: See who went No. 1
The No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft is…
For the second straight season, the Dallas Wings are in the spotlight with the first pick. Last year, it was an easy choice with UConn star Paige Bueckers highlighting the class.
This year, fellow Huskies guard Azzi Fudd was in the mix to go first overall, as well as UCLA center Lauren Betts, Spanish center Awa Fam and TCU guard Olivia Miles. Dallas eventually went with UConn picks back to back, taking Fudd to pair with Bueckers.
Two new expansion teams in the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire also made their first ever picks as they start play this season.
Here’s a running tracker of each pick as they transpire:
