March 19, 2026

Alexa Philippou, writing for ESPN;

Under the new CBA, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania, the salary cap will start at $7 million (up from $1.5 million in 2025) with the supermax starting at $1.4 million (was $249,244 in 2025). The average salary will be around $600,000 ($120,000 in 2025), with the minimum salary surpassing $300,000 ($66,079 in 2025), sources said.

Sources said the average revenue share would be nearly 20% across the length of the deal.

The fact that the new average salary exceeds the supermax of the previous CBA proves that this deal is truly transformational.

This is what WNBA posted about the new CBA.
