Atlanta saw the biggest year-over-year jump, growing from 4,480 to 7,000 fans per game after adding star forward Angel Reese and relocating marquee matchups to the higher-capacity State Farm Arena.
2026 expansion teams also showed out, with Toronto claiming the single-game record in a July clash with Dallas set in Montréal (20,996), while Portland’s home debut set an inaugural game record (19,335).
Overall, the WNBA drew 3.79 million fans across 330 games, marking a 20.5% leap over 2025.
