WNBA’s CBA Proposal: Max Salaries Over $1.1M With Revenue Sharing
The WNBA’s latest collective bargaining agreement (CBA) proposal includes a maximum salary exceeding $1.1 million, with revenue sharing as a key component.
This marks a significant leap from previous agreements, aiming to provide more equitable pay and opportunities for players.
Under the proposed terms, the league minimum salary would rise to over $220,000, with an average salary surpassing $460,000.
These changes would impact more than 180 players in the first year alone, with salaries increasing over the duration of the agreement.

The WNBA and the players’ union extended negotiations to November 30, emphasizing the importance of reaching a transformative deal.
The players exercised their right to opt out of the current CBA last year, advocating for higher salaries, improved benefits, and a softer salary cap.
This proposal reflects those demands, aiming to address long-standing disparities in player compensation.
