Free-Agent Frenzy Ahead: WNBA’s 2026 Market Sets Up for a Power Shuffle

The WNBA launches its expedited 2026 free agency with bigger rosters and a higher cap, plus a core designation that grants exclusive rights to a player. A 50-player list highlights stars likely to shift teams or stay put: A’ja Wilson is expected to re-sign with the Las Vegas Aces, Napheesa Collier appears likely to remain with the Minnesota Lynx, and Breanna Stewart is set to re-sign with the New York Liberty. Other notable moves include Kelsey Plum and Skylar Diggins changing teams, Brittney Griner moving to the Connecticut Sun, and a wave of re-signings as teams build for the 2026 season. The market will determine which franchises capitalize on core players and a reshaped salary structure.
