The talent of the best women’s basketball players is unrivaled. And they’ll get to prove it in Unrivaled, a new 30-player 3-on-3 women’s professional basketball league set to launch in January 2025.

The 30 participants, who will be announced this summer, will be divided into six 3-on-3 teams and play games on a compressed full court.
