The WNBA seeds one league-wide table: the top 8 records make the playoffs, whichever conference they come from.

Seeds are computed by Hoops Menu from each team's record. League tiebreakers are not applied, so a close race can order differently than the official standings. Clinch and elimination are decided on wins alone and stay deliberately conservative: a rival level on wins counts as a threat to a clinch and as a reprieve against elimination, so a team is only marked once the result is certain without any tiebreaker.

Today's seeding, paired

These are the matchups the current table would produce, not a forecast. Nothing here is projected forward, and seeding moves with every result.

What the columns mean
x
Clinched a playoff place: the team cannot finish outside the cut even if it loses every remaining game.
e
Eliminated: the team cannot reach the cut even if it wins every remaining game.
PCT
Winning percentage, printed without the leading zero — .780 is 78%.
GB
Games behind the league leader for teams inside the top 8, and games behind the 8th spot for everyone chasing it — the wins and losses separating the two teams, averaged.
REM
Regular-season games the team has left to play.
Playoff line
The rule across the table marks the last place inside the cut as seeded here. League tiebreakers are not applied.
