The All-Stars are selected based on votes from fans, WNBA players and sportswriters, who account for 50%, 25% and 25% of the vote respectively.

The five players with the most fan votes included Clark (700,735 votes), Boston (618,680), Wilson (607,300), Stewart (424,135) and Reese (381,518).

A rivalry developed between Clark and Reese after they faced each other in the 2023 NCAA women's basketball national championship, with controversy surrounding the sportsmanship of their respective teams, Iowa and LSU. LSU defeated Iowa last year, while Iowa defeated LSU earlier this year in their Elite Eight rematch. Iowa made it to the championship again this year, but lost to South Carolina.

The players with the top 10 votes were considered first. Six of the players (Collier, Copper, Ionesecu, Stewart, Wilson and Young) are on the Olympic squad, while Boston, Clark, Hamby and Ogunbowale were automatically selected for Team WNBA.

A list of other players with the most votes was sent to the WNBA coaches, who voted on who would fill the remaining eight spots on Team WNBA. Coaches could not vote for players on their team.

This is the second time the WNBA All-Star Game has featured the Olympic team against Team WNBA, the first being in 2021 prior to the Tokyo Olympics.
