The 2026 WNBA playoffs tip Sunday with a tightened eight-team field and a format that rewards depth. First round is best of three in a 1-1-1 setup (higher seed hosts Games 1 and 3). Semifinals are best of five (2-2-1). The Finals stay best of seven (2-2-1-1-1). We simulated every series with home-court patterns baked in through the MyGameSim WNBA engine, then ran 25,000 full-bracket trials. The headline is blunt: the No. 4 Atlanta Dream are the clearest title favorite on the board.
