Unrivaled launched as a 3-on-3 professional women’s basketball league in 2023 and was founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. It initially included six teams during its debut season in 2025 and expanded to eight in 2026.
Stewart’s team, Mist BC, brought home the championship this past year. Unrivaled also made history in January when 21,490 people attended a matchup in Philadelphia, making it the highest attendance for a professional women’s basketball regular season game on record.
