The WNBA’s 2026 free agency — expedited edition — is here. After a whirlwind negotiating period, teams can begin signing players on Saturday. What to know: Teams must carry 12 players apiece this season as opposed to previous seasons in which they could carry 11 in order to guarantee more money for the top players on the roster.

The supermax is $1. 4 million this season with teams allowed to carry a cap of $7 million (compared to $1. 5 million a year ago).

The “core” designation is like a franchise tag, giving the WNBA team exclusive negotiating rights with a player. Ten players were cored heading into this free agency period and that designation comes with a supermax offer from the team. Starting next year, players with more than seven years of service will be ineligible to be cored by a team.
