WNBA Free Agency Tracker: Who's Signed, Who's Available, Contract Values

The 2026 WNBA free agency period is unlike any other in league history. That's because the new CBA is freshly agreed to and the entire offseason will take place in a condensed timeframe with the WNBA Draft set for April 13 and training camp starting shortly thereafter.

There have certainly been some blockbuster moves, as the Chicago Sky traded Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream to kick things off.

Here is how the current landscape stands across the league.

Committed:

Signings technically cannot happen until April 11, but several big-name players have already made their intentions clear.

A'ja Wilson, Jackie Young (Las Vegas Aces): The reigning league MVP told reporters she will be returning to the Aces as they attempt to defend the WNBA championship. News later broke that All-Star teammate Jackie Young would be staying as well on a one-year $1.19 max deal.

Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones (New York Liberty): Stewart intends to stay put, saying she would take no free agency meetings and will be returning to Barclays. Teammate Jonquel Jones also reportedly plans to be back.

Kelsey Mitchell (Indiana Fever): The Fever keep their star trio intact with Mitchell back on a one-year $1.4 million supermax deal

Nneka Ogwumike (Los Angeles Sparks): Chiney Ogwumike broke the news that her sister Nneka will be reuniting with the Los Angeles Sparks, where she spent the majority of her career before playing two seasons with the Seattle Storm.

Brittney Sykes, Marina Mabrey (Toronto Tempo): The Tempo have made the franchise's first moves in franchise history, agreeing to two-year max deals with both Brittney Sykes (who was with the Washington Mystics) and Marina Mabrey, according to their agent.

Alyssa Thomas (Phoenix Mercury): 6x All-Star Alyssa Thomas will be staying in Phoenix, per multiple reports.

Arike Ogunbowale, Jessica Shepard (Dallas Wings): Arike Ogunbowale has re-upped with the Wings on a multi-year deal for under the $1.4 million supermax he was eligible for according to ESPN. The Wings are also set to sign Jessica Shepard away from the Minnesota Lynx.

Allisha Gray, Naz Hillmon (Atlanta Dream): The Dream will be keeping key contributors around in addition to trading for Reese.

Brittney Griner (Connecticut Sun): With the Dream adding to an already packed frontcourt, Brittney Griner will be heading to the Connecticut Sun where she can play a larger role.

Natisha Hiedeman (Seattle Storm): The Lynx have lost some key players in free agency as guard Natisha Hiedeman will be headed to the Seattle Storm per multiple reports.

Core:

Numerous players were given core qualifying offers during the designated window of April 6-7. The core comes with a one-year $1.4 million supermax deal in exchange for exclusive negotiating rights, but the player and team can negotiate different terms. A core player can also be signed and traded, but only the team that cored them can offer the supermax.

The following players were cored:

• Allisha Gray (Atlanta Dream)
• Ariel Atkins (Chicago Sky)—reportedly being traded to Sparks
• Arike Ogunbowale (Dallas Wings)
• Kelsey Mitchell (Indiana Fever)
• Kelsey Plum (Los Angeles Sparks)
• Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx)
• Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty)
• Bridget Carleton (Portland Fire)—selected in expansion draft
• Ezi Magbegor (Seattle Storm)
• Marina Mabrey (Toronto Tempo)—selected in expansion draft

Free Agents Available:

More than 100 players entered free agency when it got underway, as every player not on a rookie contract other than Lexie Brown and Kalani Brown was a free agent and many remain without a commitment.

On the Move:

Satou Sabally: Sabally is reportedly set to depart the Phoenix Mercury after one season, so a marquee name is all but guaranteed to be on the move.

Average Salary: The league average salary is expected to be $583,000.
