Unrivaled, a new women's 3x3 basketball league founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, is set to launch in January 2025 with a minimum six-figure salary for players, making it the highest-paying women's professional sports league in the U.S. The league aims to provide fair compensation to top talent and has the backing of major names like Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Carmelo Anthony, and Steve Nash as investors. Unrivaled offers a unique game format and plans to fill a gap in the sports calendar by starting in January, providing opportunities for players' sponsorship deals and brand development. Media rights and sponsorship deals are expected to play a crucial role in supporting higher player salaries and league growth.
