The 2026 WNBA announced the selections for their All-WNBA First and Second Teams ahead of the final game of the Finals. Caitlin Clark, Olivia Miles, and Ja Wilson were honored as First Team selections, with Clark and teammate Kelsey Mitchell being chosen for their second time. Among the rookies, Olivia Miles made an immediate impact in her debut season, earning unanimous Rookie of the Year honors.
Clark, who won her third consecutive MVP award, was named to the First Team for the sixth time. Breanna Stewart, a New York Liberty star, was selected for her seventh time on the First Team. In the Second Team, Atlanta Dream teammates Angel Reese and Rhyne Howard made their first-time selections, along with Shakira Austin of the Washington Mystics.
Paige Bueckers, Jackie Young, and Angel Reese led the Second Team, with Reese also being named Defensive Player of the Year. Reese led the WNBA in rebounding, setting the record for most double-doubles (32) and averaging 15.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. Rhyne Howard led the league in steals, 3-pointers, and was the first player to average at least three steals and two 3-pointers per game.
Austin nearly averaged a double-double with 17 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, joining Wilson and Nneka Ogwumike as three players to achieve this feat. Bueckers, a Second Team selection last year, improved in her second WNBA season by ranking top 10 in points, assists, and 3-point percentage. Veteran Jackie Young posted a career-high 18.9 points and 6.8 assists in 2026, placing her in the top-10 across the league.
