WNBA playoffs begin with Valkyries securing No. 2 seed

The 2026 WNBA playoffs are set to begin on Sunday, with all four best-of-three first-round series tipping off. The Golden State Valkyries secured the No. 2 seed after a rally in their latest game, finishing the regular season strongly. Their final match before the playoffs was a narrow 76-75 victory against the Los Angeles Sparks on 25 September.

The Valkyries have shown solid form in recent weeks, winning four of their last five games. Their recent results include wins over the Seattle Storm and Portland Fire, with only a single loss to the Portland Fire interrupting their streak. This strong finish helped them clinch the second seed in the playoffs, positioning them favourably for their upcoming series.

Golden State will face the Dallas Wings in the first round, with the series starting on 28 September. This matchup will be a key test for the Valkyries as they aim to advance further in the postseason. The best-of-three format means every game will carry significant weight in determining who progresses.

The WNBA playoffs feature the top eight teams competing in a knockout format, with the first round consisting of four best-of-three series. The Valkyries, by securing the No. 2 seed, have earned home-court advantage for their initial playoff games, which could prove crucial in their quest for the championship.

As the postseason begins, all eyes will be on the Valkyries and their ability to maintain their momentum. Their recent performances suggest they are well-prepared for the challenges ahead, starting with the Dallas Wings on Sunday. The outcome of these matches will shape the path forward in the 2026 WNBA playoffs.
