2026 State Farm WNBA 3-Point Contest Participants
The WNBA has released the official field for the 2026 State Farm 3-Point Contest, featuring a group of the league's most accurate shooters. The event takes place on Friday, July 24, at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. This year marks the first time State Farm serves as the title partner for the competition, which includes several custom elements such as logo-based shot locations worth three points each.
The roster of six participants is led by Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard, Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey, and Dallas Wings rookie Azzi Fudd. Joining them are Bridget Carleton of the Portland Fire, Natisha Hiedeman of the Seattle Storm, and Janelle Salaün of the Golden State Valkyries. Each player earned their spot based on their high volume of successful three-point shots throughout the current season.
Competition format remains a two-round, timed event. Competitors will face five shooting racks containing official game balls and special oatmeal-colored money balls. Additionally, two deep-shot pedestals will challenge shooters to hit shots from the State Farm logo. Successful makes from the logo trigger a charitable donation to Girls Who Code Inc.
The top two scorers from the first round move on to the championship round. This contest serves as a major lead-up to the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game scheduled for Saturday, July 25, at the United Center. Fans can watch the 3-Point Contest live on ESPN and Disney+ starting at 8 p.m. ET.
