WNBA draft: Live stream, TV information, start time, how to watch

Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this story included an inaccurate team with the No. 1 pick. It is the Atlanta Dream.

The WNBA will draft its newest stars April 11. The Atlanta Dream have the first overall pick, while the Indiana Fever have four picks in the first round.

The top prospects likely to be taken off the board first include Baylor forward NaLyssa Smith, Ole Miss center Shakira Austin, Michigan forward Naz Hillmon, and Kentucky guard Rhyne Howard, UConn guard Christyn Williams and South Carolina guard Destanni Henderson.

"Coming off of an incredibly successful 2021 season and in the wake of our recent announcement regarding the largest-ever capital raise for a women’s sports property, the WNBA continues to build momentum for the future of the league," said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. "And what better way to ramp up the momentum for the tip-off of our 26th season, than with WNBA draft."
