For the 2024 season of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), the minimum salary for players with three or more years of service in the league totaled around 77 thousand U.S. dollars. Meanwhile, those who had either no WNBA playing experience or less than three years in the league were entitled to at least 64 thousand U.S. dollars in payment.
Player salaries in the WNBA are determined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which is negotiated between the league and the players union (Women's National Basketball Players Association). The last CBA was concluded in January 2020 and set the league's salary structure for seasons through to 2027.
