Training camps for the WNBA’s 30th season begin on Sunday, April 19. There are over a dozen Gamecocks on training camp rosters this season. Get caught up on who is where.

The 2026 season is the first under a new collective bargaining agreement that massively increased salaries. 

Players like Aliyah Boston, who are still on their rookie contract, saw their salaries increase in line with the overall changes. Other players, like Allisha Gray and A’ja Wilson, became millionaires.

Value has changed, but the basic structure of contracts has not. Training Camp contracts are not guaranteed, and there is no salary cap penalty for cutting a player before the season. 

Rookie contracts do not become guaranteed until the regular season begins.

This season, teams must carry 12 players and may carry two developmental players. The developmental players receive a weekly stipend of $750 and can be activated for up to 12 games. They receive $6,136 per game. Development players must have three years or fewer of experience, or 4-5 with minutes restrictions.
