In the first-ever seven-game WNBA Finals series, the Las Vegas Aces needed just four games to complete a sweep of the Phoenix Mercury, securing their third championship in four years.
Led by a remarkable season from A'ja Wilson — who made history as the first player to win regular season MVP, Co-Defensive Player of the Year, and Finals MVP in the same year — the Aces capped off a storybook run, with their star at the heart of it all.

Understanding WNBA championship odds
Sportsbooks will post odds for the WNBA Finals shortly after the previous season's conclusion. These odds are constantly adjusted throughout the offseason as players switch teams or are injured. Once the regular season begins (May), title odds will change daily as teams win and lose games and more roster changes occur. Sportsbooks will also adjust the WNBA odds based on handle and liability to certain teams.
WNBA Championship odds will usually look like this:
- New York Liberty +300
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to profit $300 if the Liberty win the WNBA title. If it's close to the end of the season and the WNBA has a particularly dominant team, you might see a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds.
- Las Vegas Aces -380
This means you have to bet $380 to win $100 on an Aces championship.
