The WNBA’s new CBA is about more than bigger salaries 🏀

For Valkyries players in the Bay Area, it is about making the economics of a pro career more sustainable. With San Francisco’s single-person median income at $130,600 and 2025 league minimum salaries starting at $66,079, several players fell below the city’s low-income threshold.

Under the new CBA, minimum salaries are expected to start around $270,000 and average $583,000 in 2026, turning markets like the Bay Area from a financial challenge into a far more viable destination for players.
