WNBA, Players Extend Marathon CBA Talks Into Day 3 With No Deal

With the league’s March 10 target missed, the season calendar now faces delays.

Overview

  • Negotiators have met for nearly 30 hours over three days in New York, exchanging more than eight proposals without reaching an agreement.
  • The league’s latest offer, reported by outlets reviewing proposal details, includes a $6.2 million team salary cap and average first‑year salaries around $570,000 with maximums exceeding $1.3 million.
  • Revenue sharing remains the central sticking point, along with team‑provided housing and other non‑salary terms.
  • WNBPA leaders say they are feeling movement in the talks and stress that players want to play this season.
  • The draft is set for April 13 with training camps scheduled to open six days later, and multiple reports say a continued impasse could delay camps and lead to canceled preseason games.
