With the WNBA exploding in popularity and a new TV deal bringing more revenue, the expectation is that salaries will jump in 2026 and most free agents will sign one-year contracts to get back onto the market next offseason.

Satou Sabally is finding her game in Unrivaled and slaying her fashion for the pregame runway. The coveted WNBA free agent, who announced she was leaving the Dallas Wings, has been the breakout star for the new 3x3 league both on and off the court.

In a massive three-team deal, the Seattle Storm are trading Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces in an agreement that will see star guard Kelsey Plum move to the Los Angeles Sparks, a league source confirmed Sunday.

WNBA free agency has opened and a three-team trade sending Jewell Loyd to Las Vegas and Kelsey Plum to Los Angeles has started the wheels spinning.

WNBA season will already feature a new look from last year with the Golden State Valkyries playing their inaugural season and the schedule being expanded to a new regular-season high of 44 games per team.

Satou Sabally is not re-signing with the Dallas Wings, making her one of the most intriguing free agents on the market. Which teams make the most sense for her?

According to multiple league sources, a three-team trade that would send Jewell Loyd to the Aces, Kelsey Plum to the Sparks and assets to the Storm is the first domino that needs to fall in free agency.

In free agency, players are separated into three classifications. Unrestricted free agents can sign anywhere. Restricted agents can negotiate with anyone but their previous team can match the offer. Core players can negotiate a deal with another team but can only move on if their previous team receives compensation in return.

The Aces, Sparks and Storm agreed terms to a trade which will see Jewell Loyd head to Las Vegas, Kelsey Plum join Los Angeles and the rights to the No. 2 pick land in Seattle, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
