The team currently most likely to win the 2026 WNBA Finals according to Opta

The WNBA regular season is due to come to a close next week, with the playoffs getting underway almost immediately afterwards.

The Las Vegas Aces won the 2025 WNBA Finals after they beat the Phoenix Mercury 4-0, and the Aces are once again having a strong campaign, sitting third in the league table at the time of writing.

A'ja Wilson is also impressing again and has the highest average in the league right now. Yet the Aces are not currently given the highest chance of winning this year's WNBA Finals by Opta.

Instead, their supercomputer, which is updated after each game, says that the Golden State Valkyries are the most likely team to become champions.
