It’s been a little over two weeks since the second half of the WNBA season resumed. With just five weeks remaining in the 2025 regular season, one thing that hasn’t changed is the Minnesota Lynx keep on winning. There is, however, some shuffling occurring among some of the other top teams in the league.
The Atlanta Dream are down key players, but seem to be playing some of their best basketball of the season, while the Phoenix Mercury appeared to be in retrograde for a brief period. The Indiana Fever are streaking their way up the standings and these rankings and Los Angeles has found its spark. Plus, the New York Liberty were on a losing skid, but they’ve brought in reinforcements to help steady the ship.
Like the All-Star break, these power rankings also took a break, but it’s time for an update.
These rankings reflect where each WNBA team stands after week 10 of the 2025 season. Teams are ranked 1-13 and are grouped by tiers.
Past Rankings: Preseason, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 8, Week 9
Rating: 5
