The NBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) have reached a verbal agreement for a new collective bargaining agreement, ending more than 500 days of uncertainty following the WNBA players’ opt-out of the 2020 CBA. The agreement, which is still pending approval from the player body and WNBA board of governors, includes revenue sharing and salary. Players will be in a revenue share model each year without needing to hit a trigger threshold, earning 20 percent of league revenue across the length of the deal. The new deal will also introduce a higher tier of player salaries than the league has ever offered, impacting all levels. The highest-ever salary for a full-year contract will be $300,354%, a significant increase from $66,079 in 2025.
