Unrivaled, the new women’s 3-on-3 basketball league, begins in January, here’s how to watch.

In a typical WNBA off-season, players often head overseas to keep their game sharp and earn some extra money, but players Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart intend to change that this year. The two players have spent the last few years pulling together a new 3-on-3 women’s basketball league called Unrivaled, which will tip off in Miami on Jan. 17 for its first season. The league will feature some of the biggest names in the WNBA, including Angel Reese, Sabrina Ionescu, and Brittney Griner.

The league will consist of 6 teams of 6 players each, and every game of the eight-week season will be held in Miami. Each team will play 14 games during the regular season, followed by playoffs set for March 16-18, 2025. The first Unrivaled game, between the Mist vs. Lunar Owls, will take place on Friday, January 17 at 7 p.m. ET; here’s how to watch that game and every other game of this historic season, and scroll on to see every team roster in the league.

The Unrivaled 3-on-3 basketball league will feature 36 players and six teams: Laces, Lunar Owls, Mist, Phantom, Rose and Vinyl. The league was developed by and will feature NBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, and other players in the league include Aliyah Boston, Sabrina Ionescu, Brittney Griner, and Angel Reese. To determine the team rosters, players were organized into six pods with each pod featuring guards, wings or bigs. The league’s six coaches then worked together to select one player from each pod, assigning them to one of the six clubs. The coaches set the rosters without knowing which team would be theirs to coach. A complete roster of each team is listed below:
