The WNBA offseason has seen a significant shakeup as ten All-Stars, including Brittney Griner and Kelsey Plum, switched teams during a bustling free agency. Executives had anticipated this offseason would set the stage for future changes, but the early market has already reshaped team dynamics. Most players signed one-year contracts, giving them the ability to assess franchise fits and maximize earnings in anticipation of a favorable economic environment ahead, including increased salaries and a new media rights deal in 2026, which could escalate contracts significantly.
Executives expected this offseason to be a precursor for changes next winter, yet significant shifts occurred early as multiple All-Stars changed teams.
Star players signed mainly one-year deals during this offseason, allowing them to maximize their earning potential and explore team fit before longer commitments.
