Furthermore, the average player salary in the 2026 season is also projected to go beyond $500,000, with the minimum projected salary being more than $225,000, according to reports. <\/p>\n
The new proposal marked around 15% rise from the last proposal which had a an estimated maximum base salary between $800,000 and $850,000. Now, under the new negotiation, the salary cup will also reportedly get elevated to $5 million in the first year of the new CBA, from the approximate $1.5 million in 2025. <\/p>\n
WNBA and WNBPA had mutually decided on a 40-day extension to the CBA currently in place. They extended the Sunday deadline to next year, January 9, 11:59 pm. The new proposal followed hours after the decision to extend. <\/p>\n
Announcing the six-week extension, the union had announced, “We expect substantive movement from the league within this window”. <\/p>\n
The league said in a statement on Sunday, “The WNBA and WNBPA are continuing to work toward a new agreement”. <\/p>\n
As things now stand, both the involved parties can terminate the extension as well, but they must provide a 2 days’ notice in advance. <\/p>\n
