The WNBA might be on hiatus. But women's basketball continues to trot on, taking hold of courts across the German hinterland.
The FIBA Women's World Cup traipsed to Berlin in 2026. The nine-day festival features a host of luminaries, from U.S.-based stars like Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese to international standouts Dominique Malonga (France), Awa Fam (Spain) and Ezi Magbegor (Australia).
Team USA is the odds-on favorite to take home the gold. Kara Lawson is the steward of a side that enters tournament play having finished at the top of the podium four times in a row. The Americans haven't dropped a World Cup match since 2006. With a "young and turnt" crew at the spear of the tip, the U.S. look well-equipped to compete for the crown.
With that, here's a look at the final rosters for all 16 teams taking part in the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup.
