WNBA Pools for 2027 — free for friends
WNBA fans have had nowhere good to run a pool with their friends. Sportpoolz is opening WNBA pick'em, survivor and playoff bracket pools for the 2027 season — fifteen teams, fifty games each, scored automatically and free for your group. Pools open once the league publishes the 2027 schedule.
Free forever — no credit card, no money changing hands.
How WNBA pools will work
The WNBA plays through the summer, with games on most nights rather than one big weekend slate. Sportpoolz pools follow that rhythm: each week runs Monday to Sunday, the week's games are laid out day by day, and every game locks at its own tip-off, so you can pick a Tuesday game on Tuesday.
Three formats are coming for 2027. Pick'em asks for a winner in each game of the week. Survivor asks for one team a week and knocks you out when it loses. The playoff bracket asks you to call every series once the postseason field is set. All three are scored for you from the final results, and none of them involves any money.
What a manager will choose
- The format — pick'em, survivor or the playoff bracket. It is fixed once the pool exists, so it is the one decision to get right first.
- Which weeks a season-long pool covers: the whole regular season, or a stretch of it for a group that forms in July.
- How many members it takes, from 2 to 30, and how weekly winners and the season champion are recognised.
Key dates for the 2027 season
- Season tip-off (expected; dates not yet announced): May 2027
The league is bigger than ever: fifteen teams, with Connecticut's franchise moved to Houston, and a fifty-game regular season. This page will carry the real dates as soon as the league announces them.
A sample WNBA summer
Here is how one group could run the season once pools open.
- Before tip-off: the manager starts a pick'em pool and shares one invite link in the group chat.
- Through the summer: everyone picks each week's games before they tip off, and the standings update as the results come in.
- When the regular season ends: the same group starts a playoff bracket and calls every series of the postseason.
Common questions
When can I start a WNBA pool?
Once the league publishes its 2027 schedule, ahead of a tip-off expected in May. Until then this page describes how the pools will work, and you can create a free account now so you are ready the day they open.
Why only three formats for the WNBA?
They are the three that suit a fifteen-team league in a summer season. More can follow; for now Sportpoolz would rather run three formats well than list every format the NFL has.
Be ready the day it opens
