The WNBA and Women’s National Basketball Players Association reached a tentative seven-year collective bargaining agreement in mid-March after 17 months of talks that included public disputes and marathon sessions in New York. The league’s Board of Governors unanimously ratified the terms later that month, locking in revenue sharing, a 2026 salary cap near $7 million, and minimum salaries starting around $270,000—more than four times prior levels—while avoiding any disruption to the May 8 season opener. This resolution followed repeated deadline pressures set by commissioner Cathy Engelbert to protect the schedule and free-agency calendar. Trader sentiment now reflects the completed deal’s timeline rather than ongoing uncertainty, with the agreement positioned to reshape roster construction and league economics through 2032.
