A new report says the WNBA’s proposed CBA could bring seven-figure base salaries, but the tradeoff may make it harder for contenders to build deep rosters.

The WNBA made enough money in 2025 to trigger revenue sharing for the first time in league history, the Women's National Basketball Players Association told ESPN on Monday. The 13 teams that played last season will receive a total of $8 million to disperse to players.

The WNBA and the players association are yet to reach a common ground regarding the collective bargaining agreement. March 10 is the new deadline for a final decision to prevent any uncertainty over the 2026 schedule.

The expansion teams are stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, they have little knowledge on how the new CBA will turn out.

The WNBA’s latest CBA proposal includes a concession on housing, but not on revenue sharing.

The WNBA is growing at a rapid pace and the recent announcement made by the union leadership made it evident. On Monday, it was revealed that the league made enough revenue during the 2025 season to trigger revenue sharing among its players.

The WNBA’s most recent CBA proposal, sent to the players union on Friday, contained housing guarantees for all players for the upcoming season. Also part of the proposal would be the housing requirement ultimately being phased out over the next few seasons.

The ongoing labor dispute between the WNBA and the WNBA players union just took another turn.
