The WNBA has officially tipped off All-Star Voting 2026 presented by Ally, giving fans their first chance to shape the rosters for this year’s AT&T WNBA All-Star Game. Voting began Thursday, June 11 at 2 p.m. ET and runs through Saturday, June 27 at 11:59 p.m. ET — a 17-day window for fans to cast their ballots daily on WNBA.com or the WNBA App.
This year’s All-Star Game heads to Chicago’s United Center on Saturday, July 25, broadcast on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET. It’s a homecoming of sorts for the Windy City, which last hosted the WNBA All-Star Game in 2021. With the league celebrating its milestone 30th season, expect the All-Star merchandise collection to be bigger than ever. Nike typically drops a commemorative All-Star jersey collection alongside the voting period, featuring bold designs that blend each season’s theme with modern performance silhouettes. Past years have seen special edition shooting shirts, warm-up gear, and caps — all available through the WNBA Shop and Nike.com.
Fans who vote through the WNBA ID portal aren’t just picking starters — they’re also entered to win the grand prize: a 3-day, 2-night trip for two to the All-Star Game in Chicago. The prize package includes round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, and tickets to both the Kia WNBA Shooting Stars and State Farm WNBA 3-Point Contest on Friday, July 24, plus the main event on Saturday. Three “2-for-1 Days” on June 12, June 17, and June 24 let fans double their voting impact.
Voting mechanics this year continue the weighted system introduced in recent seasons: fan votes account for 50 percent, current WNBA players account for 25 percent, and a media panel accounts for 25 percent. Ballots feature up to four guards and six frontcourt players regardless of conference. After fan, player, and media tallies are combined, the top four guards and six frontcourt players by score are named starters. Head coaches will later select the 12 reserves.
For fans looking to rep their favorites beyond voting, the WNBA Shop has already rolled out team-specific All-Star merchandise including jerseys, hoodies, and exclusive Chicago-themed gear tied to the 2026 game. With the league’s growing popularity and the expanded 15-team roster this season, All-Star merchandise is expected to sell quickly. Early shoppers should keep an eye on Nike.com and the official WNBA Shop for limited-edition drops throughout the voting period.
