After months of building anticipation, Unrivaled is finally here.
The groundbreaking women’s basketball league officially launches on Friday, Jan. 20 in Miami. With historic backing from across the sports world, Unrivaled has given some of the game’s biggest stars a domestic alternative for basketball outside of the WNBA season.
The level of star power taking part in Unrivaled’s inaugural season cannot be overstated. Co-founder Breanna Stewart is one of seven former No. 1 overall picks to take part in 2025, a group that also includes 10-time All-Star Brittney Griner, 2023 Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston and Stewart’s Liberty teammate, Sabrina Ionescu.
While seven of the league’s 36 players once heard their name called first in the WNBA Draft, the star power doesn’t stop there. Unrivaled co-founder and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier and rising star Angel Reese are among other headliners taking their talents to South Beach for Year 1 of the league.
Who is playing in Unrivaled this year? Below, find the full list of players set to participate in the league’s first season.
