  • With the 2022 WNBA season tipping off Friday, we took a look at the league's highest-paid players.
  • Three players will earn a league-high $228,094 on WNBA supermax salaries this season, per Spotrac.

With new coaches, a stacked rookie class, and an abundance of superstars across the league's 12 teams, the WNBA's 26th season is poised to be one of the most exciting yet. And before the first games tip off on Friday, Insider took a look at the league's highest-paid players on each team based on Spotrac's salary figures.

Three players, two of whom suit up for the same WNBA team, will earn a league-high $228,094 on supermax salaries for the upcoming season. Another 11 players, seven of whom are the highest earners on their respective teams, will command $200,000 or more this year.

Three franchises — the Dallas Wings, Los Angeles Sparks, and Las Vegas Aces — do not have a single player taking home $200,000 or more this season.
