An entertaining regular season has concluded. Now, the eight teams that punched their tickets to the 2025 WNBA Playoffs will compete for a championship.
MVP candidate Napheesa Collier and the Lynx enter the postseason bracket as the No. 1 seed. After a dominant run through the regular season, Minnesota is widely considered the favorite to claim the title, but there are some talented contenders standing in the Lynx's way.
A'ja Wilson and the Aces will attempt to capture their third championship in the past four years. Las Vegas is firing on all cylinders, bringing a 16-game winning streak into the WNBA Playoffs.
The Dream and Mercury will also look to make some postseason noise, and no one should dismiss the Liberty. With Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and reigning WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones leading the way, New York is hoping to win back-to-back titles.
