#TakeActionTuesday: On the final day of #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate the WNBA’s historic collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that will forever change the landscape of women’s sports. 

In 1998, the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (thewnbpa) became the first-ever labor union made up of women athletes, and in 1999, they negotiated the first CBA in the history of professional women’s sports. 

Now, 26 years later, the new CBA, which runs through 2032, gives players nearly a 400% raise, and creates the first comprehensive revenue-sharing model in women’s professional sports, with WNBA players’ salaries now tied to the league’s revenue. Some other major victories include: 

🏀 Salary cap increases to $7 million in 2026 and will adjust annually based on growth 

🏀 Players will earn 20% of the gross league and team revenue 

🏀 Teams must obtain a player’s consent to be traded if they are pregnant 

🏀 One-time back payment to retired players with over 5 years of service 

🏀 Housing, travel, and facility standards have been strengthened 

The WNBPA’s player-led efforts and advocacy show girls and women across the country what is possible when you demand your worth. We are grateful for the work of past and present WNBA players who have made this historic achievement possible! #TheEquityProject
