WNBA Players Push for 25% Revenue Share and Housing in CBA

The WNBPA delivered a counterproposal to the WNBA demanding 25% of league revenue (about 27.5% over the life of the deal) and team-provided housing for players in the early years, while reducing the proposed salary cap to near $9.5 million. The league countered that the proposal is unrealistic, could cost hundreds of millions, and may delay the season, noting its own offer would share under 15% of revenue in year one with a $5.65M cap that would rise over time. With the season about 80 days away, talks continue alongside expansion drafts and free agency; players had previously authorized a near-unanimous strike.

NFL's 18-Game Season: Negotiations Heat Up

The NFL is considering expanding the regular season to 18 games, reducing preseason games to two, and potentially renegotiating the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) before its 2030 expiration. Commissioner Roger Goodell and team owners are in favor, while players may seek increased revenue shares, improved offseason and training camp conditions, and other benefits in return. The move could significantly boost league revenue and align with future broadcast deals, solidifying Goodell's legacy and establishing new NFLPA leadership.
