The 2025-2026 NCAA women’s college basketball regular season wrapped up last week and the increase in parity continues to grow in women’s college basketball. There were so many upsets, so many great teams and some incredible superstars and stars who shined during the regular season.
For 17 weeks, I made sure that NCAA women’s college basketball players who played their best that week were featured in such a way for others to know more about them or learn that there’s plenty of talented women’s college basketball players and not just the superstars. I have always included mid-major conferences alongside the Power 5 conferences as well as other lesser known conferences to highlight those other talented women’s college basketball players too.
In order to make the NCAA Women’s College Basketball Players Final Overall Rankings list, the players featured had to be on the list for eight weeks or more during the 17 weeks that I posted during the regular season. To make the honourable mention list, the players made the list seven weeks and fell just short of making the final overall list for the 2025-2026 season.
Listed below are the top 17 seniors, the top 12 juniors, the top 12 sophomores and the top 3 freshmen for the 2025-2026 NCAA women’s college basketball regular season. You can view last season’s final overall rankings list here. Questions? First time viewing the rankings? You can read the FAQ page here.
