New York Liberty stars were unable to withstand a fourth quarter comeback in the debut of the new 3-on-3 league.

“Yeah, it got spicy between co-founders for a little bit,” says New York Liberty center Breanna Stewart, who along with her 2024 WNBA Finals rival, Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier, are starting Unrivaled, a three-on-three women’s pro basketball league that tips off Friday night in South Florida.

The newest domestic women’s basketball league tipped off Friday, as Unrivaled staged its first two games outside of Miami. The 3×3 league co-founded by stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart intends to provide WNBA stars an alternative to playing overseas in the offseason. Ten 2024 WNBA All-Stars took the court for Unrivaled’s debut.

Unrivaled, a new 3x3 women's professional basketball league co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, debuts Jan. 17. Here's how to watch and stream games.

Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart came up with an idea almost two years ago, that might change the life of many women basketball players.

Unrivaled’s inaugural season is scheduled to begin Friday in Miami. Ionescu's participation in the league adds to her remarkable 2024, which included winning a gold medal at the Olympics and securing the WNBA championship with the Liberty.

UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma talked about Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier creating Unrivaled league that debuts Friday.

Founded by Minnesota Lynx's Napheesa Collier and New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart, Unrivaled is a new women's pro league that goes for a three-on-three basketball format instead of the traditional five-on-five play.

As Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier begin the first season of Unrivaled, investors Geno Auriemma and Paige Bueckers will be watching proudly back at UConn.

Stewie versus Phee was the matchup that fed families during the 2024 WNBA Finals. Two of the league’s best went back and forth, putting their respective teams on their backs and having some fun along the way. (Remember when Stewie asked refs for a tech on Phee? Hilarious stuff.)

As Phantom BC enters the inaugural season of Unrivaled, they are not only without Marina Mabrey due to injury but also facing a setback with Sabrina Ionescu, who is dealing with an injury as well.
