Natalie Esquire and Terrika Foster-Brasby weigh in on the WNBA's decision to release its 2026 schedule despite the lack of a new collective bargaining agreement, exploring what it means for the league and players.

What the league and players’ union want from the WNBA’s next collective bargaining agreement, and why they remain far apart.

The CBA expired Friday night without an extension, but both sides will continue negotiating under existing rules rather than triggering a strike or lockout.

The league and the players have had two previous extensions and have met several times this week. Any stalled negotiations could delay the start of the 2026 season.

There has never been a strike in the league's 30-year history, but it appears possible as Friday's deadline approaches.

Talks have been stalled for months over the players' new collective bargaining agreement as the union demands a new pay structure.
