2026 WNBA championship odds: Liberty new favorites after signing Sabally
After a frenzied week featuring high-profile trades, big free agency signings, and a landmark draft, the WNBA Finals odds board experienced a huge shakeup. The biggest beneficiary of it was the New York Liberty, who jumped from a fourth-best +475 to a leading +230 after signing three-time All Star forward Satou Sabally to a multiyear deal.
The big move up for New York meant steps back for several of the other top teams including the Indiana Fever (+380 to +425), Las Vegas Aces (+340 to +450), and particularly the Minnesota Lynx, who fell from +400 to +700 for the 2026 title after losing several key free agents and amid the continuing uncertainty surrounding superstarNapheesa Collier's ankle injury.
One team that continues to surge is the Atlanta Dream, who improved from 18-1 to +900 after acquiring two-time All-Star Angel Reese, and shortened further to +650 after re-signing several key free agents. Reese's former team, the Chicago Sky, made several high-profile moves by trading for Rickea Jackson, signing DiJonai Carrington andSkylar Diggins, and drafting Gabriela Jaquez, shortening them from 400-1 to 100-1.
