The WNBA Losers Belt · current holder

Toronto Tempo

Toronto Tempo picked it up on September 22, 2026, losing to Chicago Sky 97–85. To get rid of it, they have to win a game.

Same schedule, same rules, flipped: the Losers Belt passes to whoever loses to its holder. It's the crown nobody wants, and some teams have worn it for years. It started on June 21, 1997, when Los Angeles Sparks lost to New York Liberty.
