How Much Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Make After 400 Percent Pay Increase

DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUN 23 – After years of advocacy and lawsuits, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders secured a historic 400% pay raise for 2025, boosting veteran hourly wages from $15 to over $75, advocates said.

  • In 2024, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders experienced a substantial increase in their compensation, with hourly wages and appearance fees rising dramatically for the 2024-2025 season.
  • This raise followed long-standing concerns about low pay, with cheerleaders previously earning around $15 per hour and $500 per appearances, leading to discussions of collective action in prior years.
  • The team of 36 members now earns up to $75 an hour, with compensation adjusted by experience, and enhanced visibility from the Netflix docuseries 'America's Sweethearts' highlighted their efforts.
  • Armani Latimer explained that their efforts led to positive outcomes, while Megan McElaney described the 400% raise they received as transformative, highlighting the significance of their advocacy.
  • The pay raise suggests improved financial security but the cheerleaders maintain other jobs, and the organization continues support with wellness programs and alumni activities.
