Who is eligible for the WNBA Draft?

All NCAA players who are turning 22 years old in 2024 can forego any remaining college eligibility and enter the draft. College seniors who have exhausted their eligibility are eligible, as are international players who are turning 20 years old in 2024.

College players whose teams have been eliminated before the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament must declare for the draft by April 1. Players whose teams remain in the tournament beyond that point have 48 hours after their seasons end to declare.
