The WNBA and WNBPA are still locked into negotiations over the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that has now entered its 16th month. It’s a pivotal moment as the league has its peak popularity in a long time, fueled by the stars like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers. The league has seen increased television ratings, higher attendance in arenas, and that’s richened media deals. Despite this, it’s been tense. The league most recently submitted their new proposal on Friday that ESPN reports looks to guarantee housing for all WNBA players through 2026, with that being phased out in later years of the deal.
