game between the North Carolina Courage and Washington Spirit at Audi Field on October 15, 2023 in Washington, DC. .. On Thursday, several NWSL leadership changes and a world away from the women’s sports landscape later, the two sides announced a new collective bargaining agreement to run beyond its current one, through 2030.
“This CBA is a transformational shift in American sports — not just women’s sports,” NWSLPA Executive Director Meghann Burke told me by email this afternoon. “Throughout this negotiation, we were well aware that we stand on the shoulders of generations of advocacy for athletes to have the same autonomy and free agency rights that most American workers have as a matter of right. The same ideas that liberate NWSL Players to attain their potential apply to other leagues, sports, and men, too.
But a collective recognition of the current moment both sides of this negotiation are in comes with both the approach and urgency of the deal, which doesn’t begin until 2027.about negotiating an extension to the current deal, not the other way around. The league and PA alike saw the U.S. loss in the 2023 World Cup Round of 16 as a potentially pivotal moment, one in which the U.S. could be losing its competitive advantage.
It’s already drawn notice of people like Satou Sabally, a vice president with the WNBPA, the WNBA’s players association. They’re expected to opt out of their CBA after the 2024 season, ending their current agreement following the 2025 season.
