What happened: The WNBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement on Tuesday. This follows the WNBA Players Association's ratification last week after months of negotiations. The 10-year deal, running through 2032, was reached amid the league's surging popularity.
Why it matters: The CBA introduces historic raises in minimum salaries, supermax contracts up to $250,000 initially, and expanded revenue sharing tied to a new $2.2 billion media rights deal. Playoff expansion to nine teams could heighten postseason betting volume.
What to watch: Monitor official CBA release for full details on free agency rules and roster limits starting in 2025.
