The WNBA and WNBPA reached a tentative agreement on a new seven-year CBA in mid-March 2026 after more than a year of contentious talks and eight straight days of marathon sessions in New York. Players and the Board of Governors both ratified the terms later that month, setting a 2026 salary cap near $7 million, revenue sharing at roughly 20 percent of shared basketball revenue, and other economic and operational provisions through 2032. With only long-form drafting remaining as of late March, trader sentiment has centered on the timing of final signatures relative to the season opener and any last-minute hurdles in documentation. No major disputes have emerged since ratification, though completion depends on coordinated legal finalization between the league and union.
