The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) have reached a tentative agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which will begin in 2026 and run through 2032. The seven-year CBA represents one of the most transformational labor agreements ever reached in major professional sports. The agreement includes the first comprehensive revenue-sharing model in women's professional sports history and significant increases in player compensation. The salary cap for the 2026 season will be set at $7.0 million and will adjust annually based on league and team revenue growth. The league's top players will gain the ability to sign the first multi-million-dollar contracts in WNBA history. The deal also includes increased roster size of 12 players and two roster spots for developmental players.
