WNBA球员和联盟在即将到来的2026年季节开始之际谈判新的CBA,减少收入和上限要求。 WNBA players and league negotiate new CBA with reduced revenue and cap demands amid looming 2026 season start.

WNBA玩家协会提交了一份订正的CBA提案,将其申请的收入份额减少到平均占总收入的27.5%——从先前报价的30%以上降至一年的25%,并将其薪金上限需求降至950万美元以下。 The WNBA Players' Association has submitted a revised CBA proposal, reducing its requested revenue share to an average of 27.5% of gross revenue—starting at 25% in year one—down from over 30% in earlier offers, and lowering its salary cap demand to under $9.5 million. 联盟以565万美元的上限和70%的净收入份额进行了回应,这将相当于不到15%的毛收入. The league countered with a $5.65 million cap and a 70% share of net revenue, which would amount to less than 15% of gross revenue. 工会还提议为早期职业运动员保留集体付薪住房,并逐步停止为接近最高工资的高收入者提供这种住房。 The union also proposed retaining team-paid housing for early-career players, phasing it out for higher earners near max salary. 随着2026赛季定于5月8日开打，且有两支扩军球队等待选秀，双方都面临着在关键日期前达成协议的紧迫压力，因为推迟可能会干扰自由球员市场、赞助商和赛季开始。 With the 2026 season set to begin May 8 and two expansion teams awaiting a draft, both sides face urgent pressure to agree before key dates, as delays risk disrupting free agency, sponsorships, and the season’s start.
