2026 WNBA All-Star Game Format, How It Works 

Each team will be competing for a $100,000 cash prize pool, with every player on the winning side also receiving a $10,000 bonus. Both teams represent Chicago-based charities that support women's sports, with the WNBA donating $75,000 to the winning team's charity and $25,000 to the losing team's.

The WNBA is borrowing from the NBA's playbook with a format featuring three 10-minute quarters and a fourth quarter that ends the moment a team reaches the designated target score.

The target score is determined by taking the leading team's score after three quarters and adding 8 points. From there, the clock disappears entirely, with both teams racing to hit the mark for a win.


WNBA All-Star Game Prediction on Over/Under – 7/25/26

This year's All-Star Game is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent memory thanks to the new format. Both sides will likely be motivated by the prize money on the line, and the target score mechanic adds an intriguing wrinkle, as the trailing team always has a chance without the pressure of a game clock running out.

Here's a look at the winner payouts, spread, and total for the WNBA All-Star Game on PrizePicks Team Picks — available in 36 states!

Team Win Spread Total
Team Spoon 1.53x -3.5 (1.81x) Over 279.5 (1.85x)
Team Coop 2.32x +3.5 (1.92x) Under 279.5 (1.78x)
Payouts listed are live as of writing and are subject to change.

Team Spoon enters as 3.5-point favorites with a 1.53x payout to win on PrizePicks Team Picks. The squad is headlined by captain Caitlin Clark and also features reigning MVP and WNBA scoring leader A'ja Wilson, who is still chasing an All-Star Game MVP to add to her already impressive resume.

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game set a record with 282 combined points. Tonight's total is set at 279.5 on PrizePicks Team Picks and may depend on the scoring pace through the first half given the new format.

  • Last year's game used the standard four 10-minute quarters and shattered the previous record of 270 with 282 combined points. As with the NBA All-Star Game, defense is rarely a priority in this exhibition setting.
  • Tonight's 279.5 total would mark just the second time in WNBA history that the All-Star Game has surpassed 280 combined points. The new Elam Ending format eliminates much of the fourth quarter, with the leading team needing just 8 points to clinch the win once the target score is set.
  • The last 10 WNBA All-Star games have averaged 228.6 total points per game.
