2026 WNBA championship odds: Collier's return keeps Lynx as favorites after All-Star break

With Rookie of the Year lock Olivia Miles leading the way and superstar Napheesa Collier back in the fold, the Minnesota Lynx are the clear favorites to win the 2026 WNBA Finals according to bookmakers, showing +115 odds coming out of the All-Star break -- a solid improvement from the fifth-best +800 they had going into the season. The reigning champion Las Vegas Aces are second on the championship odds board at +350 (only a slight improvement from their preseason +390), while the New York Liberty , the preseason title favorites at +220, have lengthened all the way out to +700. On the other hand, the Golden State Valkyries have made a massive jump from a preseason 45-1 to a current fourth-best +800. Meanwhile, the public darling Indiana Fever and Dallas Wings have both lost some steam, showing 18-1 and 22-1 WNBA Finals odds, respectively.
