Currently riding a historic wave of popularity, the WNBA carved out a new national TV deal valued at more than $2.2 billion over 11 years, tipping off with the 2026 season.
The contract will pay the league an average of about $200 million a season, about four times as much as the current $50 million-a-season rate. (The deal was first reported by The New York Times sports news platform The Athletic.)
