The WNBA told the league's Players' Association and teams on Monday that both sides must agree to a new collective bargaining agreement by March 10 should the 2026 schedule remain unchanged, ESPN's Alexa Philippou reported Monday night.
The league and over 50 players met virtually on Monday morning for their second bargaining session this month involving players. It was during that conversation that WNBA leadership shared the March date, which is "thought to be the first deadline of sorts the league has provided players and teams as negotiations have dragged on," Philippou reports.
