The Sky continued to shape their 2025 roster with their latest signing of former draft pick Arella Guirantes.
clutchpoints.comHere’s what’s circulating about the Chicago Sky’s 2026 roster as of the latest reporting:
- Roster shake-ups ahead of 2026: Reports indicate the Sky are actively retooling for the 2026 season, focusing on draft capital and potential acquisitions to rebuild after a tough 2025 campaign. This aligns with the team’s stated goal of restocking with young talent and maximizing draft versatility.[1][3]
- Expansion and protections: With the WNBA expansion in 2026 adding Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo, Chicago reportedly protected its core by negotiating agreements to prevent these new teams from selecting Sky players in the expansion draft, preserving continuity for the 2026 season.[3]
- Training camp context: The Sky released their 2026 training camp roster around mid-April 2026, featuring 19 players and notably omitting longtime star Angel Reese from the camp depiction, signaling ongoing moves and a potential shift in role players for 2026.[4]
- Notable signings/trades: There have been ongoing touches on trades and acquisitions around 2025–2026 that shaped the depth chart, including earlier trades involving 2025 draft picks and later roster adjustments as part of a broader rebuild plan.[2][7]
