Valkyries, Lynx, Aces all seen as WNBA title favorites

The Golden State Valkyries, who surprised many by winning the WNBA Finals in just their second season, are favored to repeat as champions for the 2027 season, according to various sportsbooks. However, there is no consensus on which team should be the top favorite, with the Minnesota Lynx and Las Vegas Aces also receiving strong consideration from different betting platforms.

The Lynx, who had the best regular season record in 2026, are favored by DraftKings, while BetMGM lists the Valkyries as the frontrunners. The Aces are also in the mix, with odds varying across sportsbooks. The Atlanta Dream, who finished as runners-up, are seen as a strong contender as well. Bookmakers have different reasons for their rankings, often considering team potential and offseason changes, which could significantly impact the upcoming season.
