PWHL expansion is top of mind as the league sits roughly halfway through its third season. EVP of biz ops Amy Scheer tells me Seattle & Vancouver have exceeded expectations. The PWHL is using the same metrics to determine its next round of expansion. frontofficesports.com/pwhl-still-l...

The WNBA's latest proposal includes marginal changes to the revenue sharing percentage. That percentage does not meet or exceed 15% of total league revenue, sources tell me. More on the league's latest proposal including details on housing: frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-own...

Latest in WNBA CBA negotiations: The league submitted a proposal to the WNBPA Friday, a source confirmed. This after both sides met on Monday at the league offices and roughly six weeks after the union shared its last proposal.

Last week, Steven Rogers—an early investor in the Sky—sued majority owner Michael Alter for allegedly "self-dealing" & squeezing out minority owners. I read the suit & spoke with several early investors to understand the complexities of the situation: frontofficesports.com/chicago-sky-...

The WNBA & WNBPA met for roughly 3 hrs at the league offices in New York City on Monday. The WNBA showed up without a proposal. “That kind of set the tone for the conversation because we were hoping to hear otherwise," Nneka Ogwumike told me. frontofficesports.com/wnba-offered...

Philadelphia hasn’t been home to professional women’s basketball in nearly three decades. But for one night, the city showed why it’s ready for a permanent team. On Unrivaled’s record setting night with comments from Dawn Staley and Kyle Lowry: frontofficesports.com/unrivaled-ph...

The WNBA and WNBPA will hold an in-person meeting in NYC on Monday. The outcome of which could determine if the 30th season starts on time. frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-pla...

Unrivaled president, Alex Bazzell just addressed the contingent of media covering tonight's games and said in part, "We will be doing more of these in the future." Additionally, he thanked everybody for their coverage of the league and expressed excitement about what's to come

Latest from Unrivaled Philly, Kelsey Plum says a meeting between the WNBA and union is scheduled for Monday. Additionally, Plum said not everyone will be able to make it. She said her and Napheesa Collier will be attending together and her hope is that owners will be present.

The WNBA hasn’t responded to the union’s proposal in over a month & there have been no full bargaining sessions in 2026. On where CBA discussions stand union prez Nneka Ogwumike tells me, “It's not a constructive way to continue on these negotiations…” frontofficesports.com/nneka-ogwumi...

League One Volleyball has hired its first commissioner. Former Nike exec & Brown basketball player Sandra Idehen was tapped to lead LOVB. I caught up with her yesterday to discuss her new role: frontofficesports.com/lovb-nike-co...

As the WNBPA continues to wait for a response from the WNBA to a proposal sent over a month ago, the season falls further into jeopardy. From Friday, but still relevant today: frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-sea...

Cari Champion and Jemele Hill are teaming up again for a new women's sports podcast, Flagrant and Funny. A few things are certain: the takes will be hot, there will be ample roasting, and the gloves are coming all the way off. frontofficesports.com/jemele-hill-...

Women's sports stars have a lengthy history of using their platforms to advocate for their communities. This weekend was no different as Breanna Stewart & others shared messages denouncing ICE after the killing of Alex Pretti. frontofficesports.com/breanna-stew...

The WNBA released the schedule for the 2026 season this week, but that does little to guarantee it will actually tip off on time. The next two weeks will determine a lot in regards to the status of the league's 30th season. frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-sea...

The WNBA has announced its 2026 slate despite being in the midst of contentious CBA negotiations with the players union. The league SAYS the season will tipoff May 8, but there is no guarantee at this point. frontofficesports.com/wnba-schedul...

The WNBA is exploring buying back the 16% stake sold for $75 mil in 2022, multiple sources told me. The deal—valuing the league at roughly $1 billion—was celebrated as a transformative measure. The WNBA has roughly quadrupled in value since. frontofficesports.com/wnba-2022-st...

WNBA training camp began April 27 last year. The WNBA is currently proposing a start date as early as mid-March. Add Project B to the list of potential conflicts if the WNBA's footprint is expanded on the front end. frontofficesports.com/project-b-to...

Unrivaled ratings saw a steep drop year over year across its opening week slate. As the league's second season continues, viewership will be a big factor in its sustainability. frontofficesports.com/unrivaled-ra...

Project B just announced Tokyo as its first confirmed tour stop. Dates: March 26-April 4. WNBA training camp began April 27 last year and as we know one of the proposals being discussed in CBA negotiations between the league and the union is an earlier start date.

AUSL is done with the touring model. In year 2 the league will play in host cities associated with each team. More on those cities and how the league decided on them (FEATURING the correct link): frontofficesports.com/athletes-unl...

The WNBA and WNBPA have agreed to a moratorium for league business specific to free agency. Put simply: qualifying offers, core designations, negotiations, and signings will all be paused until a new CBA is reached. frontofficesports.com/wnba-free-ag...

WNBA free agency *technically* started on Sunday. But as CBA negotiations remain deadlocked nobody is doing anything. At least not yet. More on the proposed moratorium and Jan. 20 being a date to watch: frontofficesports.com/wnba-free-ag...

Over the last two days the WNBA called every general manager to communicate they are permitted to send out qualifying offers to free agents despite CBA uncertainties. What the period of status quo means for GMs: frontofficesports.com/wnba-telling...

CBA talks are stalled, but what does that mean for free agency? Here’s what players at Unrivaled are saying: frontofficesports.com/wnbas-stalle...

The CBA will expire tonight with no deal or extension. As a result negotiations will enter a period of status quo. The latest from Miami: frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-dea...

Two days ahead of the Jan. 9 deadline the WNBPA is still waiting on a response from the league to a proposal sent roughly two weeks ago. That proposal includes an ask for roughly 30% of gross revenue and salary cap of about $10.5 million. frontofficesports.com/wnba-players...

With its sophomore season, Unrivaled faces the daunting task of solidifying itself in an increasingly crowded women's basketball landscape. Could partnering with the WNBA be the answer? frontofficesports.com/unrivaled-fu...

The High Impact Player rule is here, but will it remain? The NWSLPA said it will take action to enforce the rights of players without specifying what that action is. So, where does that leave Rodman? frontofficesports.com/trinity-rodm...

Can confirm Rockets ownership is in ongoing discussions with the Connecticut Sun regarding the possible sale and relocation of the franchise to Houston. @alexaphilippou.bsky.social @ramonaespn.bsky.social first on today's news. frontofficesports.com/rockets-owne...

The WNBA has issued a statement in response to the WNBPA’s vote which says in part that the league strongly disagrees with the unions characterization of the current state of negotiations. Full statement:

If the WNBPA were to strike, it would mark the first work stoppage in WNBA history. However, there are still a number of required steps before that happens. This vote was the first. frontofficesports.com/wnba-players...

This does not mean that the union will call a strike. It is merely a required step in the process. Per the terms of the extended CBA the union could not strike without first opting out of the extension. Both the WNBPA and the WNBA reserve the right to opt out w. 48 hrs notice.

WNBPA issues statement explaining the executive committee has been authorized via vote to call a strike "when necessary." Per the union 93% of players participated in the vote and 98% voted in favor of the decision.

Tuesday night NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he would join WNBA CBA negotiations if necessary and expressed optimism a deal would get done. WNBA players aren’t feeling as hopeful. frontofficesports.com/adam-silver-...

An early start date & a draft combine were among the proposals from the WNBA to draw the most questions and concerns as CBA negotiations continue. How would an early start date work? Would a combine actually add value? Reaction from around the league: frontofficesports.com/wnbas-propos...

NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman has said the league would do whatever it takes to keep Trinity Rodman. Her decision to veto Rodman's contract with the Washington Spirit proves otherwise. What now? frontofficesports.com/nwsl-union-f...

WNBA CBA talks have reached the prize fight stage. As one side attempts to gain an edge, the other throws a counterpunch. Wednesday, it was the WNBPA's turn. frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-sal...

BREAKING: The WNBA has proposed cutting team housing in addition to an earlier start date, according to multiple sources. The start date for training camp could be as early as mid-March, sources indicated, which would come with serious implications. frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-upd...

The WNBA and WNBPA are actively negotiating terms to extend their collective bargaining agreement for a second time. The union has proposed a six-week extension. Both sides have until 11:59 ET to come to an agreement before the current CBA expires. frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-pla...

The WNBPA says it has proposed a six-week extension in a statement provided to Front Office Sports. "We expect substantive movement from the league within this window."

By next season the PWHL could jump to 12 teams depending on the next few months and the returns from the 2025-26 Takeover Tour. To some this might seem quick, but the league's motto is simple: "Time is overrated." frontofficesports.com/pwhl-12-team...
