2026 WNBA Most Valuable Player Odds
All Aces
LATEST UPDATE: On May 7, a day ahead of the regular-season tipoff, Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson is the +225 favorite in BetMGM's WNBA MVP odds. Last season, Wilson won her second straight MVP award and fourth overall.
She then won WNBA Finals MVP, while leading the Aces to their third title in four years. And entering this season, Wilson has the Aces near the top of WNBA Finals odds.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, a massive fan favorite her first two seasons, is right behind Wilson at +250 in WNBA MVP futures. Clark opened as the +225 favorite, while Wilson opened +250.
As in 2024 and 2025, Clark is the unsurprising leader in tickets at BetMGM. But it's much closer as the 2026 season opens, with Dallas Wings standout Paige Bueckers not far behind Clark.
And Bueckers, the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year, offers a much better potential payout as the +1600 fifth choice. That's in slightly from her +1600 opening price.
Further, Bueckers is garnering miles more money than anybody. Bueckers has taken 16 times more money than Clark, who is No. 2 in money.
"There's not much action on MVP so far," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "Clark is a very short price now. In the past, she's started at a higher number. Bueckers now fits that mold at +1600.
"I'm sure the Clark bets will pick back up once the season starts."
The top five in tickets in BetMGM's WNBA MVP odds:
- Clark
- Bueckers
- Fever forward Aliyah Boston
- Wilson
- New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu
