The WNBA has officially launched voting for the 2026 All-Star Game, set to take place in Chicago. Beginning Thursday at 2 PM ET, fans will have the opportunity to cast their ballots, with voting open until June 27th via WNBA.com and the WNBA App.
Fans’ input plays a crucial role in selecting the All-Star starters, accounting for 50% of the total votes. The remaining 50% is equally divided between media members and players, each group contributing 25% to the final decision. The voting process is structured by position, with the top four guards and six frontcourt players earning spots on two All-Star teams.
Selection Process and Key Players
In recent years, Indiana guard Caitlin Clark has been a dominant figure in fan voting, leading the polls in both 2024 and 2025. She has been closely followed by prominent players such as Aliyah Boston, A’ja Wilson, and Breanna Stewart, who remain among the top vote-getters.
Once the starters are finalized through voting, WNBA coaches step in to select 12 reserve players for the All-Star rosters. The teams themselves are then led by managers whose squads have the best records during the regular season, adding a competitive edge to the showcase event.
This voting period marks the league’s continued commitment to involving fans directly in the All-Star selection, highlighting the growing engagement and excitement surrounding the WNBA’s midseason celebration in its 2026 edition.
