The Las Vegas Aces are one game out of the lead in the WNBA standings, but their star is leading the All-Star fan voting.
Four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, a seven-time All-Star, leads all players with 308,249 votes as of Wednesday, June 17. Wilson is averaging a league-leading 25.6 points and 2.2 blocks per game and ranks fifth in rebounding with nine per game.

The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game will be played in Chicago at the United Center on Saturday, July 25, and broadcast on ABC (8:30 p.m. ET). WNBA players and media will join fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans will account for 50% of the vote, while current players and media make up 25% each.
Dallas Wings point guard Paige Bueckers, who made her debut as an All-Star in her rookie season, is second in the voting with 298,027. Bueckers is averaging 19 and 5.8 assists a game.
Wilson and Bueckers are followed in the fan voting by Indiana Fever center Aliyah Boston (282,186), New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart and Fever point guard Caitlin Clark (253,602).

After all votes are counted, players will be ranked by position within each of the three voting groups — fan, player and media. Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging their weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes and the media votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best score will then be named as starters.
After the starters are locked in, the league’s head coaches will select the 12 reserves. The 15 head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team.
The head coaches for the All-Star Game will be those of the two teams with the best records following games on Friday, July 10, regardless of conference.
