2026 WNBA championship odds: Lynx a clear favorite behind ROY front-runner Olivia Miles

Coming up on the All-Star break around midway through the WNBA season, the top of the championship odds board does not look much like it did going into the campaign. The Minnesota Lynx continue to increase their lead as title favorites, shortening to +145 from a fifth-best +800 going into the season. The Las Vegas Aces have maintained the second spot at +300, while the preseason favorite New York Liberty are out to +600 from +220 in early May.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries have been the most pleasant surprise of the season, improving from 45-1 to a fourth best +800 while maintaining the second-best record in the league. On the flip side, the public-supported Indiana Fever have fallen from +450 at the open of the season to 16-1, while the Los Angeles Sparks (200-1) and Phoenix Mercury (350-1) fell from 14-1 and 30-1, respectively.

On the awards side,A'ja Wilsonis an odds-on -360 to win her third consecutive MVP after she came into the campaign as the +220 favorite. The Lynx'sOlivia Miles is a huge odds-on favorite for Rookie of the Year, so much so that the market has now been taken down from most major books; Miles was -5000 at last offering.
