WNBA Playoff Seeding Remains Unsettled

With the 2026 WNBA regular season entering its final week, all eight playoff berths have been clinched, but every postseason seed remains unsettled. Minnesota and Golden State are competing for the top spot and home-court advantage, while Las Vegas is favored to hold third and Atlanta is positioned to claim fourth. The tightly packed middle of the standings includes Indiana, New York, Washington and Dallas, with only two games separating fourth from eighth. Dallas is on a six-game winning streak and could rise as high as fifth if it wins its final games and receives help from teams above it, while Indiana faces two games against league-leading Minnesota after losing to Washington. Key season-ending series between Minnesota and Indiana and between New York and Atlanta are expected to determine several first-round matchups.
