The WNBA has agreed to a historic collective bargaining agreement that will increase the average salary of players significantly over the next few years.
In a groundbreaking development for women’s sports, the WNBA has negotiated a historic salary increase for its players, with average salaries soaring from $120,000 to $583,000 annually by 2032. The minimum salary will also see a significant rise from $66,000 to $270,000 starting in 2026. This agreement marks over a 400% increase in earnings, a figure that could provoke envy among labor unions in France and highlights the increasing value placed on women athletes in professional sports.
