The 'WNBA MVPs' quiz

The 2026 WNBA season is officially underway, with reigning-MVP A’ja Wilson and the defending champion-Las Vegas Aces starting the year on an emotional rollercoaster. 

The squad received their 2025 championship rings on Opening Night before receiving a 99-66 demolition from the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday, the worst loss by a defending champion in their season opener in WNBA history. The next day, they flipped the script with a dominant 105-78 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Mother’s Day.

Wilson scored 19 points in each contest as she looks to win her third MVP in a row and fifth of her now-nine-year career. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to be named WNBA Most Valuable Player can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
