Each WNBA team has a roster size that ranges from a minimum of 11 players to a maximum of 12 players during the regular season, as specified by the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)
. While the maximum roster size is 12, many teams often carry only 11 players to maintain salary cap flexibility
. Occasionally, exceptions to the 12-player limit occur due to circumstances like injury or pregnancy
. In summary:
- Minimum roster size: 11 players
- Maximum roster size: 12 players (standard limit)
- Some teams may carry fewer than 12 players for cap reasons or due to special exceptions
