WNBA to have more male head coaches than female in 2026

The New York Liberty have hired Chris DeMarco, formerly an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors, as their new head coach, completing the coaching lineup for all 15 WNBA teams for the 2026 season. This follows a series of changes where five coaching vacancies were filled, including Sandy Brondello taking the helm of the expansion Toronto Tempo. Notably, the league now has more male head coaches than female, with eight men and seven women in leadership roles. This shift marks a historical trend, as the WNBA has had more seasons dominated by male coaches.
