WNBA Players Opt Out of Their Collective Bargaining Agreement

The WNBA players' union used its option to end the 2020 labor deal two years early, so the contract would expire after the 2025 season and force talks on higher salaries and revenue sharing.

The WNBA players' union chose to opt out of the collective bargaining agreement signed in 2020, two years before it was due to expire; the league and union had until 1 November to use the option^[1]
The 2020 deal still covered the 2025 season, leaving a year to negotiate a new one^[1][4]
WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike called it "a defining moment" and said "If we stay in the current agreement, we fall behind"^[1]
Executive director Terri Carmichael Jackson said players opted out "to realign the business and save the league from its own limitations"^[4]
The decision came days after the 2024 WNBA Finals and after the league signed an 11-year media rights deal worth $200 million a year^[1]
Talks ran past two deadline extensions and a strike authorisation before a new seven-year deal was reached in March 2026^[2][3]
