WNBA players opt out of CBA, face potential work stoppage
WNBA players have opted out of their current collective bargaining agreement and face the prospect of a work stoppage if they don't negotiate a new deal with the league by the end of the 2025 season, according to ESPN's Chiney Ogwumike.
Citing union sources, Ogwumike said the union's executive committee and board of player representatives voted Monday to opt out.
Players had until Nov. 1 to opt out of the current deal, which was set to expire in 2027 and will still be in effect next season. The two sides have a year to come to an agreement.
