WNBA Pitches $1.1 Million Max and Revenue Sharing in Latest CBA Offer as Nov. 30 Deadline Nears

Union leaders seek a percentage-based revenue model before the Nov. 30 extension expires.

Overview

  • The proposal includes a maximum salary above $1.1 million available to more than one player per team, a new minimum above $220,000, and an average salary above $460,000 starting in year one with annual increases.
  • League officials presented the updated offer to the board of governors this week after initially making it on Oct. 29, and meetings with stakeholders continue under the extension.
  • The players have not accepted the offer as revenue sharing remains the core issue, and details of the league’s revenue-share structure have not been disclosed.
  • The proposed salaries represent a sharp jump from current figures, with recent minimums near $66,079 and a top salary around $249,244 under the expiring CBA.
  • If no agreement or further extension is reached by Nov. 30, the sides enter a status-quo period with a potential work stoppage thereafter, while expansion planning and free agency remain paused as rival Project B signs stars such as Jonquel Jones and Jewell Loyd.
