NWSL has entered a partnership with A+E networks to broadcast games on Lifetime, one of the channels owned by the network. A+E will gain an equity stake in the league along with the league’s existing ownership groups and Lifetime will become an official league sponsor. This is the beginning of a three-year deal, beginning this April. Lifetime will broadcast one game every week on Saturday at 4 PM ET with a pre-game show at 3:30. No doubt this equity stake played some part in the bump to the 2017 salary cap, which includes a huge increase to the minimum salary from $7,200 to approximately $15,000.
