Here’s the latest on the 2026 WNBA Draft.
- The top pick was Azzi Fudd to the Dallas Wings (No. 1 overall). This was widely reported as the Wings’ selection to kick off the draft.[1][2][4]
- The draft took place on April 13, 2026, with rounds 1–3 completed and a full tracker published, detailing selections and trades across teams (including notable picks like Flau’Jae Johnson to Golden State via a trade).[2][4][1]
- Notable outcomes included Awa Fam and Lauren Betts among early selections, and several international or non-traditional college paths contributing to the early rounds.[5][7][1]
If you want, I can pull and summarize more specifics (e.g., complete first-round results, trades, and individual team picks) or provide a concise table of all picks with teams and schools. Would you like a quick player-by-player rundown or a one-page chart?
