The WNBA and its players' union have reached a verbal agreement on a landmark seven-year collective bargaining agreement that will raise the salary cap from $1.5 million to $7 million, introduce a $1.4 million supermax, and lift average player salaries nearly fivefold to $600,000. While the deal represents a seismic shift for women's professional sports, questions remain about whether the league's revenue projections—anchored by a $200 million annual media deal and nearly $1 billion in expansion fees—can sustain the commitments without continued NBA subsidization.
