US EditionWNBA Players Say League’s Proposal for New CBA Falls Short After All-Star Bargaining Meeting
MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, JUL 17 – Players seek better revenue sharing, higher salaries, and improved benefits as the WNBA grows with a $2.2 billion media rights deal and league expansion plans, players union said.
- On Thursday in Indianapolis, WNBA players gathered with league officials for collective bargaining talks amid ongoing disagreements.
- The talks follow players opting out last October to seek improved salaries, benefits, revenue sharing, and a softer salary cap.
- About 40 players, including stars Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, and Angel Reese, attended the largest in-person meeting since December.
- WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert called the dialogue constructive though the union said the league's proposal is a "slap in the face" and "ignores everything we said."
- Both parties remain optimistic about finalizing an agreement before the current CBA expires after the 2025 season, though some players have indicated that a walkout could occur if no deal is in place by the end of October.
