The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game is scheduled for July 25 at 8:30 p.m. ET, broadcasting live on ABC. For those without cable, the game can be streamed via live TV streaming services. DIRECTV offers a five-day free trial, with their Choice plan including ABC among over 125 channels, and provides a $30 saving on the first month. This year marks the WNBA's 30th season, introducing a new charity prize pool of $100,000.
The game will take place at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The league has moved away from team captains, with WNBA Hall of Famers Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon acting as general managers for the two All-Star teams, drafting players for the contest. Dallas guard Paige Bueckers will play for Team Cooper, while Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is set to play for Team Spoon, following a coin flip that assigned the top two fan vote-getters to opposing teams to ensure balanced rosters.
Team Cooper, with GM Cynthia Cooper and head coach Becky Hammon of the Las Vegas Aces, features players such as Sonia Citron, Kahleah Copper, Dominique Malonga, Angel Reese, and Jackie Young. Team Spoon, led by GM Teresa Weatherspoon and head coach Cheryl Reeve of the Minnesota Lynx, includes players like Aaliyah Boston, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Jonquel Jones, and A'ja Wilson.
Injured players are noted with an asterisk (*), with replacements also listed on the rosters. For its 30th season initiative, the winning team's selected charity will receive $70,000, and the runner-up's charity will be awarded $30,000. Team Cooper will represent Angels Athletics, while Team Spoon will play for Girls in the Game, a Chicago-based organization.
Notable players from the New York Liberty, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones, will participate in the game, competing on separate teams.
