flag WNBA players authorize strike over pay, benefits, and revenue sharing as negotiations stall ahead of Jan. 9, 2026 deadline.

flag The WNBA players' union has authorized its leadership to call a strike if needed, following a 98% vote in favor, as collective bargaining negotiations with the league remain stalled. flag Key issues include salaries, revenue sharing, child care, and retirement benefits, with players pushing for a 30% revenue share, far above the league’s current proposal. flag The current CBA deadline is January 9, 2026, and a strike could delay the expansion draft, free agency, and the season’s start. flag The league claims it has made significant offers, including a projected max salary of $1.3 million by 2026 with revenue sharing, while players, including Napheesa Collier and Caitlin Clark, stress the importance of fair compensation and long-term stability. flag Both sides continue talks, with the league committed to a 30th season.
