how much do dcc get paid

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) were previously paid about $15-$20 per hour or roughly $500 per game, making their annual salary around $75,000 when including rehearsals, games, and promotional appearances. In 2025, after collective bargaining led by veteran cheerleaders, they received a significant 400% pay raise. This raise increased the hourly wage to about $75, which could bring veteran cheerleaders' annual earnings to over $150,000 based on part- time hours worked. However, despite the raise, they still do not receive health insurance as part of their contracts, and many cheerleaders still work other jobs alongside DCC commitments. The pay varies depending on seniority and participation in optional appearances.
