WNBA and Union Extend CBA Agreement, Set to Resume Negotiations

The WNBA and its players’ union have agreed to a 30-day extension of their current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). This extension allows additional time for both parties to address unresolved issues and work toward a long-term resolution.

The decision to extend the CBA comes amid ongoing negotiations aimed at reaching a comprehensive agreement. While the specific terms of the extension were not disclosed, the additional time is expected to provide both sides with more flexibility to address key topics such as player compensation, benefits, and team operations.

Both the WNBA and the WNBPA have emphasized their commitment to reaching a fair and sustainable agreement. With the extension in place, the next phase of negotiations is set to begin, with the goal of finalizing a new CBA that reflects the evolving landscape of professional basketball and the needs of its players.
