Unrivaled Basketball League Set to Transform Women's Game

Unrivaled, a new 3-on-3 women's basketball league founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, is set to launch in Miami, providing an alternative to overseas play during the WNBA offseason. The league offers competitive salaries and features top talents like Skylar Diggins-Smith and Angel Reese, as well as a unique 1-on-1 tournament. Unrivaled aims to address deficiencies in player experience and sponsorship in the WNBA, potentially influencing future CBA negotiations. Although not directly competing with the WNBA, the league highlights disparities and fosters recruitment opportunities, indicating a collaborative relationship between the leagues. Its inaugural season runs from January 17 to March 17, with games broadcast on TNT, emphasizing player development and a modern basketball approach.
