Will either Chicago or Atlanta start the WNBA season 5-0 or better after opening 2-0?
52% of users predicted YES — the community missed this one. 29 predictions cast.
Neither the Chicago Sky nor the Atlanta Dream sustained the 5-0 start the question required. Both teams opened the 2026 WNBA regular season 2-0 but each dropped at least one game before accumulating five wins. By the week of May 19, Chicago's record stood at 3-1, reflecting one loss after the team's strong opening. Atlanta similarly failed to maintain an unbeaten streak through its early schedule.
Chicago's path was further complicated when forward Rickea Jackson suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the early weeks of the season, forcing the coaching staff to adjust its rotation during the stretch in question. The question required either team to win its next three games after the 2-0 start; neither did.
The 2026 WNBA season began in late April, with both franchises carrying restructured rosters. Chicago had traded Angel Reese to Atlanta during the offseason and built around newly signed veterans including Skylar Diggins and Natasha Cloud. Atlanta entered with the revamped lineup that included the Reese acquisition. The community's prediction was essentially even at 52% yes; neither team delivered the necessary run.
