Cathy Engelbert will retire as WNBA commissioner at the end of the 2026 season following seven years at the helm, sources told ESPN on Friday.
Multiple high-ranking team sources had recently told ESPN that they believed the 2026 season would likely be Engelbert's last. While Engelbert has ushered the WNBA into what she's called "hypergrowth" mode, transforming the league into a significantly more prominent sports and entertainment property, her leadership had come into question over the past year.

Caitlyn Jenner for her assistant! :)
She can’t take the pressure of standing up for what a woman is. Hahahahaha. LOSER! Go crawl under a rock.
She knows what is coming and doesn’t want to go down with a sinking ship. The Black dykes will kill the WNBA and think they won until the have to work at Publix stacking shelves.
They should retire the whole stupid league.
I am sure she had a bowl in the Board room where she just washed her hands, tossed the towel on the table, and walked away.
That organization is a mess.
“While Engelbert has ushered the WNBA into what she’s called “hypergrowth” mode, transforming the league into a significantly more prominent sports and entertainment property”. Cathy, I think Caitlin Elizabeth Clark had more to do with that than you.
Part of me thinks that these 2 NBA “women” that want to play in the WNBA did this to get the WNBA some publicity.
Caitlin hit the triple and Engelbert replaced her as the pinch-runner.
It doesn’t matter what kind of hocus pocus she tried to work, the product is still terrible and the league wouldn’t survive if the welfare was ever cut off.
This turd won’t polish.
WOKE WNBA Commissioner STEPS DOWN After BOMBSHELL Lawsuit And Massive BACKLASH Against WOKE Agenda!
Good riddance. Anybody who needs a committe to decide if men can play in a women’s league should be defenestrated.
They’ll pick a hardcore LGBTQ+ activist whose first task will be to run Sophie Cunningham out of the league.
Let’s see if Admiral Levine is available.
