Women's basketball is now bigger than ever, with the WNBA drawing in record numbers due to the excellent play from stars like A'ja Wilson, Angel Reese, and Caitlin Clark.

Now, it looks like there will be even more opportunities for female basketball players with the introduction of Unrivaled, a 3x3 winter basketball league co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier.

Investors in the league include Olympic gold medal soccer player Alex Morgan, 10-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony, two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash, Olympic gold medal soccer player Megan Rapinoe, former ESPN president John Skipper, and former President of Turner David Levy.

According to Ben Pickman of The Athletic, Unrivaled "promises to pay the highest average salary in women’s professional sports league history and will give equity in the league to its inaugural participants, enabling the athletes to profit from it for years to come."

After much anticipation, Unrivaled has announced the rosters for all six of their teams, featuring multiple top players from the WNBA.

Unrivaled is looking to set itself apart with a focus on player development. All six of the coaches involved assigned players to six pods (A-F) and put those players on different teams without knowing which team they were going to coach, ensuring the most balanced and exciting teams possible.

Here is every team featured in the Unrivaled 3x3 basketball league, their coaches, and their full rosters. Two teams have still-open wild card spots.
