Women's basketball's future will come to the fore at The Shed at Hudson Yards on Monday, dancing atop the orange carpet before hearing their names called one by one at the 2026 WNBA Draft.
College and international basketball's finest young talents are slated to take the stage during the spectacle, which represents the informal start of the WNBA season. It's unclear who will hear their name called first at the festival; Azzi Fudd and Awa Fam seem the likeliest contenders for the crown, although the Wings have remained tight-lipped throughout the draft process
Regardless, the festival should prove a memorable one. With more teams and more picks on the docket than ever before, fireworks are expected to abound plenty across the three-round sequence.
