Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier’s brand new 3-on-3 basketball league was recently picked up by TNT Sports for a multi-year media deal. On Thursday morning, the league announced the team names and logos of the six teams competing in the league.

The league is already off to a promising start without a single game being played, following a record breaking WNBA season. Fans are eager for more women’s hoops and the anticipation for the new league continues to grow. 26 of 30 players have been announced including stars like Angel Reese, Arike Ogunbowale, Brittney Griner, as well as co-founders Stewie and Phee. Also, an expensive push for Caitlin Clark to participate is reportedly on the horizon.

The 30 players will be divided onto the six teams announced. The head coaches and assistant coaches of the clubs have yet to be revealed as the league continues to conduct interviews, but expect an announcement sometime soon.

The name Unrivaled isn’t just a cool and unique name; it is quite literally describing the unique nature of the league and the record setting differences between Unrivaled and others that fail to compare. The league is starting with the highest average salaries in women’s sports history as well as granting all 30 initial players with equity ownership in Unrivaled. A league for players, by players focused on creating a beneficial experience for both participants and spectators has earned the powerful name.

The season will be two months long, including playoffs. The top 4 teams will advance to the playoffs. Games will be played in a 1-hour broadcast window and on a compressed court. In February, there will be a 1v1 single elimination tournament, giving fans more to look forward to.

Unrivaled will begin it’s inaugural season January 17th 2025 and conclude in March, leaving approximately two months until the start of the WNBA.
