The WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) have signed a term sheet for a landmark seven-year collective bargaining agreement (CBA), marking a significant step toward ratification by both players and the board of governors. This agreement is notable for introducing the first revenue-sharing model in women's professional sports, which could reshape the financial landscape of the league. Additionally, the CBA outlines plans for a salary cap exceeding $11 million by 2032, increased roster sizes, and a potential expansion to a 52-game schedule. These developments not only highlight the growing economic viability of the WNBA but also set a precedent for labor relations in women's sports.
Next, the players and board of governors will vote to ratify.
