WNBA Playoff picture
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.
If the season ended today
Today's seeding, paired
- 1Minnesota Lynxvs8Washington Mystics
- 2Golden State Valkyriesvs7New York Liberty

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.
