In the previous agreement, the salary cap started at $1.3 million in 2020 and grew 3% each year.\n\nThe new agreement will be for seven years, with an exit option after the sixth year, confirming reports.\n\nThe supermaximum for 2026 will start at $1.4 million. The average salary will be around $600,000, a considerable increase compared to the $120,000 of 2025. The minimum salary will exceed $300,000, compared to $66,079 in 2025.\n\nThe average revenue share will be nearly 20% throughout the agreement, although it is not yet clear exactly how that revenue-sharing system will work, a key point in the negotiations between the WNBA and the Women&#8217;s National Basketball Players Association.\n\nThe agreement will also improve various benefits for the players, codify travel on charter flights, and establish other professional standards.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We are very grateful to be able to reach an agreement.
