The 2026 WNBA regular season begins May 8 -- and the league's 15 teams are starting to trim their rosters in time for tip-off on Friday.
Players will make their way through waivers in the coming days, as teams try to whittle down their roster sizes to the maximum 12 players allowed under the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement. Teams will have up to 48 hours to make a waiver claim if they believe there is a fit; if not, the player will reach unrestricted free agency and can sign with any organization.
As of Tuesday morning, the Indiana Fever have 16 players on their active roster. As Indiana tries to find the optimal balance behind All-Stars Aliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, The Sporting News will track which players the Fever are letting go before the new season.
