WNBA Is Growing But Players Aren’t Getting a Penny of Revenue Share

The Women’s National Basketball Association is at the top of its game. The 2022 season was the most watched since 2006. The league also secured a record number of corporate sponsorships and raised $75 million, the largest amount in women’s sports history, last year. 

​​As the league prepares to enter its 27th season in May, “we’re a growth story,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in an interview. “It’s such a multi-dimensional transformation of what was quite a small league.”
