WNBA sets deadline for CBA agreement 2026 season to start on time

Prior to Monday, no official deadline had been set for the WNBA and the players union to agree upon a new CBA deal amid ongoing negotiations. A couple of previous deadlines had been extended as both sides continued to exchange talks and proposals. But on Monday afternoon, the WNBA informed the players side that a layout on an agreement needed to be in place by March 10 before the 2026 season schedule starts being impacted, as per Alexa Philippou of ESPN. This is an ongoing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
