What Is Unrivaled?
Unrivaled is a new women’s basketball league featuring a 3-on-3 format and features star players from the WNBA, including Angel Reese, Sabrina Ionescu, and Brittney Griner. Stewart and Collier created the league to give WNBA players another option during the off-season, in addition to playing overseas.
Unrivaled will feature six teams comprised of six players each. The season will last eight weeks, with each team playing 14 games — all of which will be held in Miami.
Thanks to big-name brand partnerships and investors like Coco Gauff, Michael Phelps, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Unrivaled is offering “the highest average salary in professional women’s (team) sports.” Players will also receive equity in the new league.
