With the 2026 WNBA All-Star voting process beginning today at 1 p.m. CT and concluding on Saturday, June 27 at 10:59 p.m. CT, here is how Hawkeye fans can vote for their favorite players for this year’s All-Star festivities played in Chicago at United Center on Saturday, July 25.
Fans with a WNBA ID, the league’s new free global membership program, can securely submit ONE (1) ballot each day during the 17-day voting window via WNBA.com or the WNBA App. Throughout the voting period, fans can choose to populate their ballot with previously submitted players.

WNBA players currently on team rosters will be eligible for selection by fans. Unfortunately, developmental players will not be available for selection, which excludes former Hawkeye guard Kate Martin unless the Los Angeles Sparks elect to sign her to a standard contract between today and June 27.
Throughout the voting period, there will be three “2-for-1 Days” that allow fans to have their votes count twice, designated for June 12, June 17, and June 24. Each “2-for-1 Day” will be designated from 11 p.m. CT (the previous day) to 10:59 p.m. CT.
As in years past, WNBA players and media will join fans in selecting the All-Star starters, with fans accounting for 50% of the vote, while current players and a media panel each account for 25%. Players and media panelists will be able to complete one ballot featuring four guards and six frontcourt players.

After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes and media votes. Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging their weighted ranks from the fan, player, and media votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best scores will be named as starters for the 2026 WNBA All-Star. In the event that a tie-breaker is needed, fan voting will be the deciding factor for players in the same position group with the same score.
After the starters have been determined, 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. To avoid conflicts of interest, coaches may not vote for players on their own team.
The head coaches for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game will be the head coaches of the two teams with the best records following games on Friday, July 10, regardless of conference.
