Seattle Storm 2026 season: 8–36, scoring 82.2 points per game and allowing 88.9 (-6.7 average margin) across 44 games. Updated October 8, 2026.
Scouting report
The Storm are 8–36, 15th in the league standings, with a -7.9 net rating that ranks 13th of 15. The problems run both ways: 14th in offensive rating and 10th in defensive rating. Nothing jumps off the page as a strength, and the weak spots are shooting efficiency (48.4% eFG, 14th) and getting to the free-throw line (23 attempts, 14th). Scoring is spread around — Flau'jae Johnson leads at 14.9 a game, but no one accounts for more than 17% of the points, and she is also the one they can least afford to lose: +11.7 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: an 18-point rout of the Sun on May 22. The lows: an 11-game losing streak (May 27–Jun 22) and a 37-point loss to the Aces on Sep 17. They are 3–22 against teams at .500 or better and 0–13 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a difficult season, with Flau'jae Johnson the main reason to watch and its shot quality the most urgent fix.
