WNBA owners ratify landmark 7-year CBA, setting up a sprint to the May 8 regular-season start [View all]

NEW YORK (AP) — The WNBA Board of Governors unanimously ratified the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement on Tuesday.

Their vote came a day after the players also unanimously approved the seven-year CBA, which will begin this season and run through 2032. It represents a landmark labor deal for the WNBA and its players.

“This marks the beginning of a bold new era of the WNBA — one made possible by the passion and dedication of the players, team owners, fans, investors, partners and the entire WNBA family,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said. “We remain focused on building on the unprecedented momentum around the league and preparing for our milestone 30th season, tipping off in May.”

Lawyers on both sides are writing up the long form of the new agreement, which should be done soon.
