The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA)'s draft for the 2025 season was held following the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. It marked the first draft for the newest expansion team for the league, the Golden State Valkyries. The draft took place at The Shed in Manhattan and was televised on ESPN in the USA and on TSN1/3/4/5/SN360/SNP in Canada.{{cite web |title=WNBA Draft 2025 Presented by State Farm® to be Held on April 14 at the Shed in New York City |url=https://www.wnba.com/webview/news/draft-2025-location-announcement |website=WNBA |date=March 12, 2025 |access-date=March 21, 2025}}

Draft lottery

The lottery to determine the order of the top four picks in the 2025 draft took place on November 17, 2024. It was televised on ESPN in the United States and streamed on TSN+ in lieu of TSN network due to the latter airing the CFL's 111th Grey Cup with CTV in Canada. The four non-playoff teams in 2024 qualified for the lottery.

=Lottery chances=

The lottery odds were based on combined records from the 2023 and 2024 WNBA seasons. In the drawing, balls numbered 1–14 are placed in a lottery machine and mixed. Four balls are drawn to determine a four-digit combination (only 11–12–13–14 is ignored and redrawn). The team to which that four-ball combination is assigned receives the No. 1 pick. The four balls are then placed back into the machine and the process is repeated to determine the second pick. The two teams whose numerical combinations do not come up in the lottery will select in the inverse order of their two-year cumulative record. Ernst & Young knows the discreet results before they are announced.{{cite web |last=Dozier |first=Emily |title=WNBA Draft Lottery, explained: Updated odds for every team to win the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 |url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/wnba/news/wnba-draft-lottery-team-odds-no-1-pick/a9df47e9081d7126ea8c623f |website=The Sporting News |date=December 10, 2023}} The order of selection for the remainder of the first round as well as the second and third rounds was determined by inverse order of the teams' respective regular-season records solely from 2024.

Eligibility and entrants

Under the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the WNBA and its players' union, draft eligibility for players (not defined as "international") requires the following to be true:{{cite web|url=https://wnbpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/WNBA-WNBPA-CBA-2020-2027.pdf |title=Article XIII, Section 1: Player Eligibility |work=2020 Women's National Basketball Association Collective Bargaining Agreement |pages=110–111 |publisher=Women's National Basketball Players Association |accessdate=December 14, 2020}}

  • The player's 22nd birthday falls during the calendar year of the draft. For the 2025 draft, the cutoff birth date is December 31, 2003.
  • She has either:
  • completed her college eligibility;
  • received a bachelor's degree, or is scheduled to receive such in the three months following the draft; or
  • is at least four years removed from high school graduation.

= Early eligibility=

Players who are younger than the draft's cutoff age and are scheduled to receive their bachelor's degree within three months of the draft date will only be eligible if the calendar year of the draft is no earlier than the fourth year after their high school graduation.

Players with remaining college eligibility but who do meet the cutoff age criteria must notify WNBA headquarters of their intent to enter the draft no later than 10 days before the draft date, and must renounce any remaining college eligibility to do so. For the 2025 draft, the date fell on April 4. A separate notification timetable is provided for players involved in postseason tournaments (i.e. the NCAA Division I tournament); those players (normally) must declare for the draft within 24 hours of their final collegiate game.

=International players=

"International players" are defined as those for whom all of the following is true:

  • Born and currently residing outside the U.S.
  • Never "exercised intercollegiate basketball eligibility" in the U.S.
  • The player's 20th birthday falls during the calendar year of the draft. For this draft, the international cutoff birth date is December 31, 2005.
