@DougFeinberg I’m disgusted with how awake I am at the moment

Well technically this is early for us for any given night it seems

@DougFeinberg yeah why are you so late? what else is even going on?

Sorry for the delay on creating this; but bringing back the annual Twitter Followers bracket: fantasy.espn.com/tc/sharer?chal…

Some new details as we learn more about this new CBA: The salary cap set to top $10 million by end of the agreement. The new deal will also be a seven-year deal with an opt-out after year six. espn.com/wnba/story/_/i…

If you saw me on the 7am SportsCenter on zero sleep, no you didn't 😆😉

From NBA Today earlier Wednesday: What you need to know about the new CBA and what comes next

Extremely grateful for this group and many others for their dedication, passion, and countless hours of collaboration. A lot goes on behind the scenes, and all the hard work of this team has culminated in a historic day for women's sports. 🧡

A version of the core designation remains in the agreed-upon CBA with a tweak, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. (@sbj first) The designation remains, but is only available to use on players with 6 or fewer years of service.

We always told you we were going to stand on business, and that’s what this looks like.

These dates are subject to change as the new CBA formally signed, but here are the key dates that were provided to teams back in late February, per source: April 1-6: Expansion Draft, which includes teams protecting their players, the coin flip between Portland & Toronto, and the actual draft. April 7-18: Free Agency (Designation 7-8, Negotiations 9-11, Signing 12-18) April 13: WNBA Draft Training camp begins on the 19th, and the regular season will begin May 8

The WNBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association reached a verbal agreement for a new collective bargaining agreement. @alexaphilippou joined SportsCenter to report the details of the agreement.

@_Breezy_Briii @Alysha_Clark @AnnieCostabile @ClassicJpow @DougFeinberg Truly the least we could do to capture the history you all were able to achieve! (also, please find a way to send us those photos!😆)

@Alysha_Clark @alexaphilippou @AnnieCostabile @ClassicJpow @DougFeinberg They did their BIG one (and I lots of photos to prove it) 😅🤩 yall deserve some serious recognition and overtime compensation ‼️

Breaking: The WNBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association reached a verbal agreement on the terms for a new collective bargaining agreement that for the first time in league history ties its salary system to revenue growth and is expected to offer $1M salaries.

I truly didn’t recognize the dedication and time it takes to build relationships and truly listen to the needs and wants of union members. This process was so eye opening to me & it’s been a true honor to help advocate for the past, present, and future of the WNBA 🥹

@Alysha_Clark @AnnieCostabile @ClassicJpow @DougFeinberg Not me crying in the club (the Langham lobby) 😭 honored to have documented this historic moment for you all! Now go get some well-deserved rest!!

Engelbert confirmed the extended negotiations avoided any impacts to the 2026 schedule. Training camp is set to open on April 19, followed by preseason games beginning April 25 and the start of the regular season on May 8.
