With the WNBA's current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) set to expire after the current season, the league may be headed toward a labor stoppage ahead of the 2026 season, according to a new report from Madeline Kenney of the New York Post.
The WNBA Players Association opted out of the current CBA last year, which gave the WNBPA and the league a year to negotiate a new deal ahead of its expiration date set for Oct. 31. Kenney's report Tuesday said that players are "bracing" for a work stoppage if the pace of talks don't ramp up exponentially in the near future.
