WNBA Draft Lottery Set for Nov. 15

The WNBA’s 2027 draft lottery will air on ESPN Nov. 15 from 7:30 to 8 p.m. ET, after the UConn-Louisville game, with TSN carrying the broadcast in Canada. Houston and expansion team Toronto have the best odds of landing the No. 1 pick, each with a 33% chance; Washington is next at 16% through Chicago’s traded pick. The lottery also includes Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle, with traded picks giving Los Angeles the rights to Phoenix’s selection. The draft is scheduled for April 12, 2027, and JuJu Watkins is among the potential prospects, though her participation is uncertain as she could return to USC and NCAA athletes have an additional year of eligibility.
