Union Offers WNBA New CBA Proposal, Slightly Lowering Revenue Share Numbers, AP Source Says
The WNBPA reduced its revenue share demand to 27.5% of gross revenue and proposed phased housing relief for top earners to advance collective bargaining talks.
- On Tuesday, the Women's National Basketball Players' Association submitted a counterproposal to the WNBA asking for an average 27.5% of gross revenue, including 25% in year one.
- After weeks of stalled exchanges, talks are urgent because 80% of players are free agents and the 2026 season is set to start May 8.
- On housing, the union proposes teams continue providing housing early but phase it out for players earning near the maximum, with a salary cap of less than $9.5 million, as countered by the league’s $5.65 million proposal.
- Free agency remains on hold as the expansion draft for Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire is delayed, risking a May 8 WNBA season start and associated revenue losses.
- Long-Term, pay projections show players' average salary rising to $540,000 in 2026 and $780,000 by 2031, while maximum salaries reach $1.3 million in 2026 and nearly $2 million by 2031; the league projected $700 million in losses, which the union disputes.
