The Ongoing WNBA Players-CBA Negotiations Are Extended Until January 2026
As mentioned, the ongoing negotiations between the WNBA Players’ Association, led by Napheesa Collier, and the CBA, with regard to having better compensation for players, will run through January of next year.
To be specific, the set deadline for an agreement between the two parties should be made by Jan. 9. Otherwise, both parties may settle for an unsatisfactory agreement that does not meet each other’s expectations.
