On Friday night at Wintrust Arena, the league's top sharpshooters will assemble and showcase their stellar abilities from beyond the arc at the WNBA 3-Point Contest. 

This year, six players from around the WNBA will face off in Chicago under a standard 3-point contest format. Five different locations around the arc feature four ball racks with four regular balls (worth one point) and one "money" ball (worth two points), along with a ball rack consisting of five money balls and two shots worth three points from an incredible distance away.

Bridget Carleton, 2026 No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd, Natisha Hiedeman, Rhyne Howard, Marina Mabrey, and Janelle Salaun will all battle it out in the Windy City, but only one will be able to walk away with the contest crown.
