The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game will showcase many of the league’s biggest names, with reigning Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers and 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark leading the way after topping the fan voting. The annual exhibition, featuring teams drafted by WNBA legends Teresa Weatherspoon and Cynthia Cooper, will take place this weekend at the United Center in Chicago.
Bueckers narrowly finished first in the fan vote with 1,045,051 votes, edging Clark, who received 1,023,321. Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston ranked third with just over one million votes, while Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson placed fourth. The top four all earned starting spots for the showcase.
Fan voting accounted for 50 percent of the starter selection process, with current WNBA players and a media panel splitting the remaining 50 percent.
