WNBA collective bargaining agreement deadline passes without new deal

Source: USA Today

“Many deadlines related to WNBA collective bargaining agreement have come and gone as negotiations between the league and players’ union have stretched across months, but none are more important than Tuesday. The league said Tuesday, March 10, is the date a term sheet for a new CBA must be completed in order to avoid a delay in the start of the 2026 season, which is scheduled to tip off May 8. There’s been movement from both sides as the deadline approached as the WNBA and WNBPA swapped counterproposals over the weekend. But, as of Tuesday morning, there is no deal.” (03/10/26)
