While the we talk a lot about the WNBA around the ABC and what changes should be made as the league grows in popularity year by year, the last proposal is the one that will interest fans. As negotiations are underway regarding a CBA WNBA, the changes made in the most recent proposal relate in part to income sharing and housing.

According to Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports (FOS), changing the revenue sharing percentage is “marginal.” Additionally, the league and union have spoken more about “housing provided by a team”.
“The WNBA’s latest proposal includes marginal changes to the revenue sharing percentage. That percentage does not reach or exceed 15% of the league’s total revenue, sources tell me,” Costabile wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“Additionally, the league has gone back to the union in favor of team-provided housing in a limited capacity,” Costabile wrote in his article for FOS. “The union had previously proposed two development player spots per team, which the league conceded in its latest proposal. These players will only be able to play a certain number of games and will receive a check for each game played in addition to a stipend. They will also have access to certain benefits like housing and medical care.”
Speaking more about these concessions, particularly regarding the housing aspect, ESPN’s Alexa Philippou gives a brief breakdown on how this will work for each type of player in the WNBA, whether it’s a developmental player, etc.

“The WNBA’s latest proposal included some concessions on housing: 1 room would be available for players at their applicable minimum salary and with 0 years of service (2026-28 only). Developmental players would get studio apartments. No significant update on rev share,” Philippou wrote on X.
It remains to be seen where the discussions go from here regarding the WNBA CBA.
