Rookie Olivia Miles joins the first team, while Angel Reese, Rhyne Howard and Shakira Austin earn their first selections on the second team.
A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart led the 2026 All-WNBA selections, with rookie Olivia Miles among four first-time honorees, ESPN reported on October 24. The honours recognise two five-player teams for their performances across the women’s basketball season.
Wilson had already been named the league’s 2026 Most Valuable Player, while Minnesota Lynx guard Miles had won Rookie of the Year. Miles earned a place on the first team in her debut season; Angel Reese, Rhyne Howard and Shakira Austin received their first All-WNBA selections on the second team.
| Player | First-team selection | Season performance |

| A’ja Wilson | Sixth | Among the top three in points per game; fifth in rebounds per game. |
| Breanna Stewart | Seventh | Seventh in points per game. |
| Caitlin Clark — Indiana Fever | Second | Led the league in assists; among the top three in points per game. |
| Kelsey Mitchell — Indiana Fever | Second | Set the single-season points record, playing three more regular-season games than Wilson; among the top three in points per game. |
The 16-year-old was sent off at Fleetwood in his second start of the season, leaving Arsenal short of wing options before Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.
