Report: WNBA has not countered most recent CBA proposal
Players seek 30% of gross revenue and $10.5M salary cap while the league warns the deal could cost $700M and deeming it unsustainable.
- On Jan. 9, the WNBA has yet to respond to the players' CBA proposal filed nearly two weeks earlier as the deadline extended from Nov. 30 approaches, Front Office Sports reported.
- The WNBA's revenue sharing dispute centers on the union's 30% of gross revenue and $10.5 million cap versus the league's different model and $5 million cap.
- The league warned the union's proposal would cost about $700 million, while reported proposals would boost average salary from $120,000 to $530,000 and max salaries to nearly $2 million.
- Players authorized potential strike action in mid-December, giving WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike authority; a strike or stalled deal could delay the 2026 season and related revenue events.
- With Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo joining the league in 2026, the union wants $750 million in expansion fees counted as revenue, while the league says delays could push back free agency this month.
