WNBA Odds & Betting Markets

The Women’s National Basketball Association, or WNBA, is the women’s version of the NBA. It’s a professional basketball league for women in the USA and was founded in 1996, before the inaugural season began the following year in 1997. At present, the WNBA is made up of twelve teams in total, but this number will increase to thirteen in 2025 before the league becomes a division of fourteen outfits in 2026. 

The WNBA, similarly to the NBA, is divided into two conferences – Eastern and Western. In the Eastern Conference, teams competing are Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Indiana Fever, New York Liberty and Washington Mystics. While in the Western Conference, you have Dallas Wings, Las Vegas Aces, Los Angeles Sparks, Minnesota Lynx, Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm. Each WNBA campaign runs from May through to September, and Las Vegas Aces are the reigning champions. The most successful teams are Houston Comets, Minnesota Lynx and Seattle Storm, who all have four titles apiece to their respective names. The Comets are no longer active. 

Like the NBA, the WNBA is a popular basketball competition on which to place bets, with multiple markets available to explore. 

WNBA Championship Winner Betting 

The WNBA Championship betting market is arguably the most straightforward where the Women’s National Basketball Association is concerned because it’s simply a case of placing a bet or bets on the team or teams you think will be crowned WNBA champions at the end of the season. Last season, the WNBA championship winner was the Las Vegas Aces, who had also been victorious in 2022. Therefore, they’re the favourites to make it three titles in three years in 2024. 

WNBA MVP Winner Betting 

Everyone knows just how much of a deal it is to be declared the MVP in the NBA, and the same applies to the WNBA. And it’s possible to place wagers on who will potentially achieve this iconic status. New York Liberty’s forward, Breanna Stewart, bagged the MVP accolade last season, but it’s 2022 winner, A’ja Wilson, of the Las Vegas Aces, who is tipped to be the WNBA 2024 MVP. Wilson has been named MVP twice, the first time being in 2020. 

WNBA Rookie Of The Year Winner Betting 

Of course, betting on individual matches is incredibly popular in the WNBA. But the WNBA Rookie of the Year outright market is another that very much steals the show. Again, it’s another prestigious award to win, with a whole raft of great names having picked up the accolade over the years. The top rookie is decided by a panel consisting of leading sportswriters who cover the WNBA. Caitlin Clark of Indiana Fever is the current odds-on favourite to take home the award this year. 

As far as outright favourites to win the WNBA and be declared champions, you really can’t look past the Las Vegas Aces, who lead the way in the odds listings. Their credentials are proven, having been victorious for the last two seasons, and they’re the team to beat as they aim to make it three championships in a row. New York Liberty, who were runners up to the Aces in 2023, are expected to be their main rivals once again. The Aces having A’ja Wilson on their roster could be the difference maker in 2024, as she aims to bag her third MVP crown. 

Basketball odds, which include both WNBA and NBA odds, are some of the most popular at BetVictor. Basketball is a sport that is on the up in the popularity stakes in a big way, and on the BetVictor platform, they have you covered, regardless of the specific basketball markets you want to check out.
