The WNBA set a compressed free agency and draft calendar for April 6 to April 13. Teams have a designation period April 6-7. A negotiation window runs April 8-10, and signings begin April 11 ahead of the draft on April 13. The timing overlaps with the end of the Final Four and the NCAA transfer portal, creating a very busy news week. The compressed schedule forces quick roster decisions and will trigger a flood of signings and announcements that reshape teams before training camp.

Designation period runs April 6 to April 7 for restricted free agent offers.
Negotiation period runs April 8 to April 10 for agreed player talks.
Signings begin April 11, with the WNBA Draft scheduled April 13.
