WNBA offers new CBA proposal that includes paying housing for this season, AP source says

On February 20, the league proposed over 70% of net revenue and continued housing support to the WNBA Players' Union, according to a person familiar with negotiations.
Earlier this week, the WNBA Players' Union asked for 27.5% of gross revenue, which the league called unrealistic and said would cause 'hundreds of millions of dollars of losses for our teams'.
Under the league's proposal, teams would pay for all housing this season and then cover housing for minimum-salary players, rookies in their first season and two developmental players, alongside other team-paid expenses.
The league warned that if talks stall, the 2026 season could be delayed, affecting revenue and starting May 8, with delays already impacting draft and free agency timing.
With 80% of players free agents this offseason, the upcoming CBA could trigger the biggest player-movement period in WNBA history, which may take two months to start free agency.
