The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is the premier women's basketball league in the world, featuring the top female players on the planet. With Cloudbet, you can wager on every game with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for the ultimate betting experience.

What is the WNBA?

The WNBA was founded in 1996 and is composed of 15 teams across the United States, with the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo joining as expansion teams in 2026. The regular season runs from May through September, followed by the playoffs and Finals in September and October. The 2026 WNBA season is scheduled to begin on May 8.

The WNBA has produced some of the biggest stars in women's basketball over the years, from Cynthia Cooper and Lisa Leslie to Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi. Many of the league's top players also compete internationally for their home countries during the WNBA offseason.

Each new season sees the emergence of new stars with Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers now established stars heading into 2026. This season is the WNBA's landmark 30th, and all eyes will be on the two new expansion teams — the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo — as they make their debuts.

Each WNBA teams play 44 home-and-away games during the regular season. The top 8 teams with the best records advance to the playoffs, which consist of single-elimination rounds all the way through the WNBA Finals. The Finals feature a best-of-five format to determine the Women’s NBA champion each year.

Which WNBA teams are favorites for 2026?

The 2026 WNBA season promises to be hotly contested, with several championship contenders vying for the title. Here are some of the top teams expected to compete for the championshipthis year:

  1. New York Liberty: The betting favourites for 2026. After a disappointing 2025 first-round exit, the Liberty have retooled aggressively — retaining Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, and adding All-Star forward Satou Sabally in free agency. They enter Season 30 hungry and loaded.
  2. Las Vegas Aces: The defending champions, having won their third title in four years in 2025. A'ja Wilson — the 2025 KIA MVP — leads a core that also retained Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, and Jewell Loyd in the offseason. Las Vegas are chasing back-to-back titles and arrive as one of the most experienced rosters in the league.
  3. Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark enters 2026 fully healthy and operating at an elite level, with Kelsey Mitchell as a key scoring partner and Aliyah Boston anchoring the frontcourt. Indiana has continuity, firepower, and growing chemistry — and are considered genuine championship contenders this season.
  4. Minnesota Lynx: The Lynx posted the best record in the league in 2025 but were eliminated in the semi-finals. Napheesa Collier is expected to miss the start of 2026 but remains a cornerstone of the team. With a string of near-misses fueling their motivation, Minnesota are a dangerous side once Collier returns.

What to consider when betting on WNBA with bitcoin

To make profitable bets on the Women’s NBA at Cloudbet, be sure to factor in the following elements that can impact each game:

  1. Injuries: Keep up with injury reports to know which star players may be sidelined or limited for any given matchup. Missing key contributors can alter the competitive balance.
  2. Home court: Home teams historically have an edge, so give a slight boost to host squads when handicapping games. The home crowd energy especially impacts playoff intensity.
  3. Rest: Teams playing back-to-back nights or 3 games in 4 days are more susceptible to fatigue. Consider fading tired squads against rested opponents.
  4. Matchups: Stylistic matchups can swing outcomes, so analyze how teams may succeed or struggle against certain opponents. Foul trouble against opposing stars also sways games.
  5. Trends: Examine teams' recent form over their last 5-10 games. Ride hot teams on win streaks and fade cold squads mired in slumps.
  6. Statistics: Compare metrics like scoring margins, rebounding averages and shooting percentages to identify mismatches to exploit.
