"Under the league's new proposal, after 2026, players on their applicable minimum salary and those with zero years of service would be provided a one-bedroom apartment in 2027 and 2028 only. Developmental players would be provided studio apartments for the entirety of the deal. WNBA teams have been required to provide housing for players since the first CBA was ratified in 1999. In the last agreement, teams could provide housing in the form of a one-bedroom apartment or a stipend."
"The WNBPA's proposal from earlier this week asked for an average of 27.5% of gross revenue, defined as revenue before deducting expenses, over the course of the agreement, including 25% -- and less than a $9.5 million salary cap -- in Year 1. That is down from the WNBPA's December proposal, where the union asked for players to receive an average of 31% of gross revenue."
The WNBA submitted a new collective bargaining agreement proposal that guarantees housing for all players in 2026 before phasing out requirements in subsequent years. After 2026, players on applicable minimum salaries and those with zero years of service would receive one-bedroom apartments only in 2027 and 2028; developmental players would receive studio apartments for the entirety of the deal. Teams have been required to provide housing since the first CBA in 1999, with prior agreements allowing a one-bedroom or a stipend. The league and players remain far apart on revenue sharing, with the WNBPA seeking an average of 27.5% of gross revenue.
