The WNBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association finalized a landmark seven-year collective bargaining agreement on March 24, 2026, when team owners ratified the tentative deal reached after marathon negotiations earlier that month. Following the players' opt-out of the prior CBA post-2025 season, key breakthroughs on revenue sharing—tying player pay to league growth—and salary structures drove the resolution, with the 2026 cap surging to $7 million from $1.5 million in 2025 and supermax contracts hitting $1.4 million. This unlocks the offseason timeline, including free agency opening April 7 and the expansion draft ahead of the April 13 draft, setting the stage for unprecedented player movement and roster builds amid booming media rights and expansion.
