WNBA: Who are the 2025 free agents?

The confetti has fallen. The trophy's been raised. The parade is scheduled.

So naturally, the next question is: What's going to happen in the 2025 WNBA season?

Before prognostications about what might come to be in 2025 can be proffered, much roster reorganization will occur. In early February, a stacked class of free agents will begin to make decisions about where they'll hoop in 2025. Before then, the league will hold its first expansion draft since 2008, with the Golden State Valkyries beginning to build their roster on December 6. There's also the prospect of trades. Four teams still need a new head coach. And on top of all that, the WNBPA elected to opt out of the current CBA, a decision that could influence players' and teams' plans for 2025, as the possibility of a work stoppage before the 2026 season looms.

To begin to get a grasp on the various shake ups that might rattle the WNBA ahead of the 2025 season, here's a list of the 2025 free agents, organized by their 2024 teams and with their 2024 salaries also noted. All players who ended the 2024 regular season on a roster are included, while a few prominent players who did not play in 2024 are listed under the team that retains their rights.

When gaming out scenarios for your favorite team or player, keep in mind that teams can protect six players, regardless of contract status, for the expansion draft. (As of right now, it is expected that teams' lists of protected players will not be disclosed to the public ahead of the draft.) Golden State also will be permitted to select only one unrestricted free agent in the expansion draft. The salary cap for the 2025 season is $1,507,100, with a supermax salary at $249,244.
