WNBA Union Sends Counterproposal on Revenue Sharing, Housing

The union’s counterproposal keeps its 26% share of gross revenue and reduces its earlier 27.5% demand, while still requiring teams to provide housing for all players in the early years of the agreement. The league had offered more than 70% of net revenue in its last offer, and the union’s housing tweak allows teams to stop covering housing for players earning at least 75% of the maximum salary after the initial years.

Both sides must reach an agreement by March 10 to avoid delaying the season. If a deal is signed, the expansion draft for Portland and Toronto will take place in early April, followed by free‑agent qualifying offers and the signing period in mid‑April.
