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.

Retire?! The hell you say.
Oh, horse manure! Caitlin Clark was largely the one that got all the eyeballs watching.
I nominate Enes Freedom as her replacement.
Kitchen getting too hot.
LOL! GREAT IDEA! LOLOLOLOLOL!
Will they get someone who knows what a woman is?
Kitchen getting too hot.
Yep.
That would so FROST the über bitches in the WNBA.
Who is she going to sponge off of now? Or is the NBA still responsible for her retirement?
The first thing a new commissioner needs to do is hire real referees.
Hardly. It's almost all due to Caitlin Clark.
My work here is done
Couldn’t figure out what a woman is.
Funny how ESPN, the NFL and NBA was Obama’s secret army to push his agenda.
Sounds like they added WNBA around the same time
Heard she’s off to Trump’s reeducation camp for difference between XX and XY
With all the drama, I nominate Andy Cohen.
They should put Caitlyn in the TOP Position of the WNBA but ALSO appoint/hire her a top notch EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT to handle daily routine stuff so that Caitlyn can still play. On big decisions, or any decision, Caitlyn rules.
The player lesbians and racists would hate it but it would be the best thing that could ever happen in WNBA. Caitlyn is super intelligent, super character and super fair without an ounce of racism in her body!
People kept asking her what the W was.
Englebert did no such thing.
She resisted the market forces propelled by Caitlin Clark's debut.
