The possibility of a WNBA player strike no longer feels theoretical.

With labor talks stalled for more than a year and players frustrated by the lack of movement on revenue sharing, momentum is clearly shifting toward a potential work stoppage. The union has strike authorization. Training hubs are already in place. Team executives are quietly preparing for disruption, and the 2026 season start date is suddenly far from guaranteed.

The league has publicly taken a business-as-usual stance, but behind the scenes, pressure is mounting as free agency remains frozen, and an expansion draft still hasn’t happened. Players are standing firm on a 30% revenue share. The league says the math doesn’t work. Neither side appears ready to blink.

If this does turn into a strike, it would be the most consequential labor action in league history — not just for players and owners, but for fans, expansion teams, and the league’s long-term momentum.

Do you think a strike is now inevitable? Should the players hold the line, or does the league’s offer already represent real progress? How long could the WNBA afford a shutdown before it starts doing real damage?

Where do you stand?
