Caitlin Clark headlines 2026 WNBA All-Star Game starters
The WNBA has officially confirmed the starters for the 2026 All-Star Game and the list is headlined by Indiana Fever superstar and guard, Caitlin Clark.
Clark is one of three Fever players to make the cut, along with center Aliyah Boston and guard Kelsey Mitchell.
The Fever arenβt the only team to have multiple starters. The Minnesota Lynx will send forward Natasha Howard and guard Olivia Miles, and the Dallas Wings will be represented by guard Paige Bueckers and forward Jessica Shepard.
New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart, Las Vegas Aces center Aβja Wilson and Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams round out the starters pool.
From here, coaches will pick 12 reserves, which are slated to be announced next week.
How voting works & top vote-getters
WNBA All-Stars were determined by votes from fans (50%), current players (25%) and media (25%).
After the votes are counted, players are given a score that is calculated by averaging their weighted rank from the voting groups. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the highest scores are the starters.
Caitlin Clark ranked second in fan vote, third in media vote and 11th in player vote, which will do nothing to dispel the notion her fellow players are jealous of her.
Overall, Clark ranked third overall among guards in the vote. Bueckers and Miles ranked first and second, respectively.

Meanwhile, Wilson, Stewart and Shepard rounded out the top three among frontcourt players.
Wilson was first in player vote and Stewart was first in media vote. Shepard, on the other hand, did not rank first in any of the three votes but finished third among media and the players, and fourth among fans.
The head coach of each All-Star team will be from the squads with the two best records after the Friday, July 10 games are played.
WNBAβs new All-Star team approach
The make-up of the two All-Star teams hasnβt been decided yet.
Usually, the top vote-getters are captains and select their teams, but this year the league is changing things up for the 30th anniversary of the WNBA.
