Unrivaled Women's Basketball Plans Historic Philadelphia Tour Stop in 2026

News summary

Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 professional women's basketball league founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, will make its first-ever tour stop outside Miami with a doubleheader in Philadelphia on January 30, 2026, at Xfinity Mobile Arena. This event marks the first professional women's basketball games in Philadelphia since 1998 and coincides with the city's recent WNBA expansion announcement for 2030. The league has garnered significant investment, including support from notable figures such as comedian Wanda Sykes and NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, and aims to offer players a domestic platform during the offseason, allowing them to avoid playing overseas. Unrivaled games will be broadcast on TNT, truTV, and HBOMax, with the league expanding from six to eight teams and a valuation now at $340 million. Philadelphia was chosen for its passionate sports culture and strong community support, highlighted by local advocacy groups and city leaders including Mayor Cherelle L. Parker. The tour stop is part of Unrivaled's strategic growth plans, potentially adding more hubs in the future while maintaining Miami as its primary base.
