"The 3-on-3 league -- founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, who are also Women's National Basketball Players Association vice presidents -- was created to give players a domestic offseason playing opportunity. Along the way it also has offered players a six-figure salary and equity in the league, resources that they are fighting to secure in the WNBA as well. Each member of this season's Unrivaled championship team will win an additional $100,000 (each player on the title team last year won $50,000)."
"Unrivaled's inaugural season in 2025 made around $30 million in revenue, a league source told ESPN, which is double what Unrivaled officials had projected. In September, Unrivaled officials said the league had been valued at $340 million. Unrivaled's second season is looking to build on the momentum, adding two new teams for 2026 and a player pool of reserves to sub in when injuries occur."
Fifty-four of the league's top players convene in Miami for Unrivaled's second season, a 3-on-3 league founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. The league was created to give players a domestic offseason playing opportunity and provides six-figure salaries plus equity stakes. Championship-team members will receive an additional $100,000 this season, up from $50,000 last year. The inaugural 2025 season generated about $30 million in revenue and the league was valued at $340 million. The 2026 season adds two teams and a reserve player pool to cover injuries. Collier will miss several months after bilateral ankle surgery.
