WNBA All-Star voting tips off: Your full guide

Voting runs through June 27 ahead of the July 25 All-Star Game at Chicago’s United Center.

WNBA All-Star voting is officially open, and fans now get a say in who starts when the league’s best gather in Chicago this summer. Voting opened today, June 11, and runs through June 27, with the All-Star Game set for July 25 at the United Center.

For fans wondering how to get their favorites, including Caitlin Clark, onto the floor, the process is simple but has a few wrinkles worth knowing. Here is how voting works, when your vote counts double, and which players are making the strongest cases.


How and where to vote

Voting runs through Saturday, June 27, at 11:59 p.m. ET. To take part, fans need a WNBA ID, the league’s new free membership program, and can then submit one ballot per day at WNBA.com or through the WNBA App. Each ballot lets you pick a minimum of one and up to 10 players, specifically up to four guards and six frontcourt players regardless of conference, and selections can be saved so the ballot is pre-filled each day.

Mark your calendar for the three 2-for-1 Days, when each vote counts twice: June 12, June 17 and June 24. Those are the days to make your ballot go furthest.


How the All-Stars are chosen

Fans do not decide the starters alone. The fan vote accounts for 50 percent of the result, with current players and a media panel each making up 25 percent. Within each group, players are ranked by position and those ranks are averaged into a weighted score. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best scores become starters, and a tie is broken by the fan vote.

From there, the league’s 15 head coaches pick the 12 reserves, choosing three guards, five frontcourt players and four more at any position. Coaches cannot vote for their own players, and the two All-Star head coaches will be whoever leads the teams with the best records after games on July 10.

Caitlin Clark and the early favorites

If recent history holds, Clark will be near the top again. The Indiana guard led all players in fan voting in both 2024 and 2025, followed by the likes of Aliyah Boston, A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. This season Clark leads the league in assists, while teammates Boston and Kelsey Mitchell are posting career scoring numbers, putting the Fever in position to potentially send three players.

They are not alone. Observers see several teams with multiple-All-Star potential. The Las Vegas Aces could push for as many as four selections behind A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young, with Chelsea Gray and a red-hot Chennedy Carter in the mix. The Atlanta Dream have a trio drawing attention in Rhyne Howard, Allisha Gray and Angel Reese, while the surprising Dallas Wings ride Paige Bueckers, Jess Shepard and rookie Azzi Fudd. The New York Liberty lean on Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones.

A chance to win a trip

There is an added incentive to vote. The league is running a sweepstakes tied to voting, with one grand prize winner receiving a trip for two to All-Star weekend in Chicago, including tickets to the Friday night 3-Point Contest and Skills competition and the All-Star Game itself.

What happens next

Voting closes June 27, after which the starters and reserves will be revealed ahead of the July 25 game, which airs on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET. Between now and then, expect plenty of campaigning as teams tout their candidates and players try to play their way onto the ballot. For fans, the message is simple: log in, vote daily, and circle those 2-for-1 days.
