Revenue Sharing: Wants a system where players receive roughly 30% of the league's gross revenue.
Increased Salaries: Earlier proposals sought an average player salary of $1 million and a maximum of $2.5 million, with a $12.5 million salary cap in 2026.
Development Player Program: Wants to add roster spots for developmental players, similar to NBA two-way contracts, to boost opportunities and rosters.
Family Benefits: Pushing for better living arrangements, maternity leave, childcare, and reimbursement for alternative parenting options for veterans.
Guaranteed Roster Spots: Aims for guaranteed spots for all players on rosters.
Strike Authorization: Players voted to authorize leadership to call a strike if negotiations fail, highlighting the seriousness of their demands.
League's Counter-Proposals (as of early 2026):
Higher Max Pay: Offers a $1 million base for max players, with revenue sharing potentially pushing total earnings over $1.3 million in Year 1, growing to nearly $2 million.
Increased Averages: Projects average salaries to exceed $500,000 in 2026.
Revenue Model: Proposes a new revenue-sharing model with uncapped potential.
Current Sticking Points:
Players feel the league's revenue share model isn't adequate and that the league prioritizes control over innovation, per WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike.
The WNBA claims significant financial losses under the players' proposals, complicating negotiations.

Forget rookie & franchise records, Caitlin Clark is breaking league records:
Most 20+ PTS & 10 AST games in a single season in WNBA history
1st player with a 30 PTS, 12 AST, 5 3PT game in WNBA history
Only 3 players in WNBA history have dished out more assists in a season
On pace to become the first player in WNBA history to lead the league in AST and 3PT
Most double-doubles by a guard this season
And she's scoring or assisting on 36.7 PPG, which is the highest season average in WNBA history.
