"The expansion draft will consist of two rounds with Toronto and Portland choosing from a pool of non-protected players, as determined by each the previously existing 13 teams."
"A 'snake' format will be used for the draft, meaning the teams will alternate picks, and that the team who drafted first in the opening round will select second in the latter."
"One, the expansion teams will each be allowed to pick one 'potential unrestricted free agent,' a player who has completed the playing services required by her previous contract and has five or more years of experience."
The WNBA expansion draft for the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire will occur on April 3, 2026. A coin toss will determine which team selects first. Each team can protect five players, with the rest available for selection. The draft will use a snake format, alternating picks. Additionally, teams can select one potential unrestricted free agent. They may also trade unprotected players before the draft. The expansion draft precedes the WNBA Draft on April 13, where teams will alternate picks again.
