The WNBA has yet to respond to the WNBA players union’s collective bargaining proposal it provided nearly a month ago, Front Office Sports reported on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

That lack of movement may put the start of the WNBA season, scheduled for May, in jeopardy, according to multiple sources who spoke with the outlet.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The two sides have been in negotiations on a new labor deal since late June of 2025, with multiple deadlines having been passed and extended in the meantime.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The most recent deadline of Jan. 9 came and went without a deal, and no extension was agreed to this time either, leaving the sides in a period of “status quo,” which precludes certain actions from being taken.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

One of those is an expansion of the regular season beyond 44 games, one of the key negotiating points thus far.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The players’ proposal was reportedly for a 30% share of the league’s gross revenues and a salary cap of $10.5 million. The league’s most recent proposal prior to that had been for 70% of its net revenues and a salary cap that would start at $5 million in Year 1.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The salary cap last season was $1.5 million.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The sticking point in the schedule, and the reason for doubts about the regular season going off without a hitch, are a requirement that an expansion draft and free agency must both occur beforehand. Furthermore, the league will need to conduct its amateur draft, currently scheduled for April 13, and take a break for this fall’s FIBA World Cup, which takes place in September.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Free agency typically begins in early January. The current best-case scenario being outlined would now point to March, though that is contingent on a deal being reached over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The WNBA has never lost games to a work stoppage over its history (29 years).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
