“Given our vision to be the best league in the world, we determined that this was the right time to align with global standards and achieve long term labor peace. This CBA gives us agency over our business and gives the players agency over their careers,” said NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman in a statement. “Our new agreement revolutionizes the game, raises standards and innovates the business. On behalf of our Board of Governors, I want to thank our players and their representative leadership at the NWSLPA for working together to make this possible.”
The sides made the deal two years ahead of the current CBA's expiration.
The NWSL will be the first major professional sports league in the U.S. to do away with college and expansion drafts and allow players to go right into unrestricted free agency.
"The draft is an antiquated model that empowers teams to decide for players instead of players deciding for themselves," said NWSLPA president Tori Huster. "Now, players can choose the team environment that fits their needs and maximizes their opportunities. Teams will need to step up to create environments that appeal to players."
