The WNBA Draft Lottery is scheduled to take place on November 15, 2026, the league announced. The lottery will determine the order of selection for the next WNBA Draft.
The announcement follows the 2026 WNBA Draft, which was held on April 13, 2026, at The Shed at Hudson Yards in New York. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert spoke at the start of that event.
The lottery involves the teams that did not qualify for the playoffs, with odds weighted toward those with the worst regular-season records. The results will set the stage for the upcoming draft cycle.
