Just two weeks into the new decade, the WNBA has made strides in pushing towards a fairer, more equitable future.
First and foremost, the WNBA will henceforth offer a maximum salary of $215,000 — a nearly $100,000 increase from last season. Top players are also eligible to earn up to $300,000 more in "league marketing agreements," which are designed to keep stars from having to play overseas during the WNBA offseason.
Benefits were also altered in the new CBA. The league now officially requires all of its teams to offer fully-paid maternity leave to its players. Parents playing in the WNBA are also eligible to receive a childcare stipend and housing assistance. Nursing mothers will be provided with necessary accommodations, while more veteran players will have access to reimbursement for family-planning costs involving adoption, fertility treatment, egg freezing, and more.
