WNBA Reaches New Heights with Groundbreaking CBA: Salary Caps, Housing, and More
The WNBA and its players union have agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement, marking the first in womens pro sports with full revenue sharing. The deal, announced in March, includes salary caps starting at $7 million in 2026, rising to over $11 million by 2032. Top pay jumps from $1.4 million next year to $2.4 million by the end. Average salaries will reach over $1 million, with minimums starting at $270,000.
Beyond salary, the deal offers league-paid housing until 2030, worth over $300 million total, better facilities, more staff, boosted retirement funds, life insurance, family planning, and mental health perks. Roster spots expand to 12 players plus 2 developmental ones, with vet protections and pregnancy trade rules. Vets get one-time payouts up to $100,000, and bonuses skyrocket—like $60,000 for champs or MVPs. If ratified, it kicks off in 2026, powering the WNBA into its brightest future yet.
