The WNBA and the Women's National Basketball Players Association have agreed to an extension to continue negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement through Jan. 9, 2026, the WNBA said in a statement to IndyStar 24 minutes before the CBA was set to expire.

The statement said that either side has the option to terminate the extension by giving 48 hours' advance notice as the two sides "are continuing to work toward a new agreement." That is similar to the option the players had in their first extension agreement Oct. 30, one day before the CBA was previously set to expire.
