WNBA Union Sends Counterproposal on Revenue Sharing, Housing

The WNBA players’ union has sent a counterproposal to the league, offering 26% of gross revenue and revised housing terms. The deal must be reached by March 10 to keep the season on schedule.

The union’s counterproposal keeps its 26% share of gross revenue and reduces its earlier 27.5% demand. It also tweaks housing: teams must provide housing for all players in the early years, but not for those earning at least 75% of the maximum salary in later years.

If a deal is reached by the March 10 deadline, it would likely be signed by month‑end, allowing the expansion draft for Portland and Toronto to take place in early April and free‑agent qualifying offers to be sent out on April 7‑8.
