WNBA Sets CBA Deadline to Avoid Impacts on 2026 Season

The clock is ticking on a new collective bargaining agreement between the WNBA and WNBPA after the league notified its teams that a new deal must be struck by March 10 to not impact the 2026 season, per ESPN’s Alexa Philippou.

That deadline was delivered in a Monday morning meeting between league staff, the league’s labor relations committee, team owners and 50 players, per Philippou — the second meeting this month between all parties involved.
