WNBA players’ union president Nneka Ogwumike said significant work remains for the season to start on time but said she remains confident games will be played in 2026. Ogwumike said the league and union are not close on key issues like revenue sharing in their effort to strike a new collective bargaining agreement. The season is supposed to begin May 8, but an expansion draft, free agency and a rookie draft also need to happen before the league tips off.
