The WNBA has informed the WNBPA and its teams that a new collective bargaining agreement should be finalized by March 10 in order to avoid impacting the 2026 season schedule.

With training camp currently set to open April 19 and the regular season scheduled to begin May 8, the league calendar leaves little room for delay. An expansion draft for the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire, along with free agency involving roughly 80% of players, is also pending.

Revenue sharing remains the central sticking point, with the union lowering its proposed share of gross revenue to 27.5% in its most recent offer. Housing has also emerged as a major issue, with the league proposing guaranteed housing for all players in 2026 before narrowing eligibility in subsequent seasons.

The player body previously authorized its executive committee to call a strike “when necessary,” while the league has indicated that extended delays could compress offseason activity.

So here’s the question for the community:

• Should the players hold firm on revenue sharing, even if it risks schedule disruption? • Is housing a symbolic issue or a structural one in these negotiations? • If a deal isn’t reached by March 10, do you expect an actual strike — or a last-minute agreement?

With expansion on the horizon and the 2026 season approaching quickly, this could be one of the most consequential labor moments in league history.
