How many WNBA players are making $1 million in 2026?

For some WNBA players, 17 months of negotiations was worth seven figures.

In March, the WNBA and its players struck a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement . Among the several groundbreaking elements of the historic CBA, it paved the way for players to get paid — big time.

The salary cap — the total amount of money each team is allowed to spend on player contracts — more than quadrupled, jumping from $1.5 million last year to $7 million this season. League minimums for salaries were increased from $67,000 to $300,000. With that, the average player salary went from $105,000 to about $600,000.

And, for the first time, the WNBA now has players earning more than $1 million per year. The new annual supermax is $1.4 million — a salary figure that three players will earn this season: A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces , Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx , and Kelsey Mitchell of the Indiana Fever .

In all, 31 players will make at least $1 million this season. And four-time All-Star guard Kelsey Plum will earn just a hair under at $999,999 with the Sparks.
