WNBA Basketball Results: The Last Full Week Before The Playoffs

Week of 14-20 September 2026. All 16 Kalshi game markets, settled: what each side was priced at an hour before tip, the final score, who won, and what backing the winner would have returned at three stakes.

No WNBA market settled between 2026-09-01 and 2026-09-17 in any Kalshi series, so this Monday-to-Sunday week holds 16 games, all played from Thursday 17 September.

How the prices did

  • 14favourites held
  • 2underdog wins
  • 9in prime time
  • 20,410,229contracts traded

A side under 50¢ an hour before tip is the underdog. Read from Kalshi 2026-09-21.

Which games moved the WNBA playoff seeding this week?

New York beat Minnesota 93–81 at 33¢. Washington beat Indiana 93–77 at 32¢. Both winners were inside the top eight themselves, so each result moved the order rather than the field. Seeds 6 through 8 finished the week tied at 26–16. All eight playoff places were settled by the end of it, with Minnesota (32–10) holding the top seed.

Where the price comes from. The last hourly candle that traded at or before one hour to tip-off, with both contracts read at the same timestamp. An earlier draft of this page used each contract’s first-ever traded price instead, which on a freshly listed market can be a dozen contracts against a 40¢-wide spread; on Portland at Los Angeles that printed 86¢ for a game the market had at even money. The build now refuses any pair whose two sides do not sum to about 100¢. Kalshi series KXWNBAGAME, settled markets, read 2026-09-21. Prices are Kalshi’s, not our picks. Payouts are what the fee formula gives on a clean fill at that price, not a trade we made. PM Countdown isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Kalshi.

Questions

About this week

Who won the WNBA games from Sep 14 to Sep 20 2026?

All 16 game markets settled. Atlanta beat Connecticut 103–59; Dallas beat Los Angeles 97–77; Las Vegas beat Seattle 114–77; Phoenix beat Portland 94–91; Washington beat Chicago 110–80; Indiana beat Toronto 103–85; New York beat Minnesota 93–81; Golden State beat Portland 82–66; Atlanta beat Chicago 106–81; Dallas beat Phoenix 87–82; Golden State beat Seattle 70–57; Minnesota beat Connecticut 101–89; New York beat Toronto 106–69; Los Angeles beat Portland 105–84; Las Vegas beat Seattle 98–77; Washington beat Indiana 93–77.

Which WNBA underdogs won that week?

2 of 16 winners were priced under 50¢ an hour before tip: New York at 33¢, Washington at 32¢. Every other game went to the side the market favoured.

What does the pre-tip price mean?

It is the last price the Kalshi contract traded at in the hour before tip-off, with both sides of the game read at the same moment. A contract settles at $1.00 if that team wins and $0 if it loses, so a 32¢ price is the market giving that team roughly a 32% chance.
