The NWSL and NWSLPA have "agreed on a new long-term collective bargaining agreement." Players plan to announce the new deal “later this month.” The NWSLPA “appeared to respond” to an initial report from Sportico on Friday that a new CBA had been agreed, writing on X: “Any news concerning the Players’ lives will be shared directly by them, on their terms. Respect that. Stay tuned. In the meantime, we’re cheering for all our members playing in the gold medal match” (THE ATHLETIC, 8/9). The new CBA will run through 2030 after the current deal -- negotiated in 2022 -- would have expired in 2026. No details for the new CBA were available, but they “generally concern player movement, free agency and trades” (AP, 8/9).
