What To Know About Women’s Basketball Today

1. Unrivaled’s Inaugural Season Kicks Off Today! 🚀

It’s finally here! The new 3×3 basketball league, launched by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, officially begins today. The Mist will face the Lunar Owls at 7 PM ET, followed by the Rose taking on the Vinyl at 8 PM ET. All games will air on TNT or truTV and stream on Max. (Unrivaled)

WHY IT MATTERS: Not only does this new league serve to showcase women’s basketball and grow the game’s fanbase, but it also provides an income alternative during the WNBA off-season. Historically, many WNBA players have gone overseas to supplement their earnings. Now, with leagues like Unrivaled and Athletes Unlimited, they can stay stateside while continuing to compete.

All Unrivaled games take place in Miami, Florida. This new version of 3×3 is likely to bring an exciting new take on the game. Based on the Unrivaled scrimmages so far, you can expect more transition offense, pick-and-roll action, and offensive rebounding.

2. Indiana Fever Announce New $78M Facility 🏟️

Pacers Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers, has announced plans to build a $78 million Indiana Fever Sports Performance Center. The three-story, 108,000-square-foot complex will be located in downtown Indianapolis. Construction is set to begin in August and is expected to be completed before the start of the 2027 WNBA season.

WHY IT MATTERS: As the WNBA continues to grow in fanbase and revenue, female-specific training facilities are becoming essential for teams to stay competitive. These state-of-the-art facilities play a critical role in attracting athletes during free agency and are key considerations for potential expansion teams.

3. 2025 Athletes Unlimited Roster is Finalized ✅

The 2025 basketball roster for Athletes Unlimited is set! Entering its fourth season, this year’s 40-player lineup features WNBA fan favorites such as Alysha Clark (Las Vegas Aces), Alissa Pili (Minnesota Lynx), and Jordan Horston (Seattle Storm). The four-week long season kicks off on February 5th in Nashville. (Athletes Unlimited)

WHY IT MATTERS: Like Unrivaled, Athletes Unlimited is testing a smaller, yet exciting new spin on the game of basketball to elevate these incredible athletes and their earning potential. While the league plays 5-on-5 basketball, its unique format emphasizes individual players, with teams being reshuffled every week.
