A new three-on-three league will bring some of the best players in the world together for a two-month season. Its backers believe it’s just the start
Inside an old television studio, on an industrial park a few miles from Miami’s international airport, an enthralling new show will premiere on Friday. It is opening night for the Unrivaled women’s professional basketball league, a production almost two years in the making that is poised to revolutionize the sport.
Unrivaled brings together 36 of the best players from the WNBA for a two-month season inside the newly converted building. Six clubs will play each other three-on-three in a round-robin format on a two-thirds sized court over the next nine weeks, until playoffs and a championship game on 17 March. A three-day, one-on-one “Queen of the Court” tournament takes place next month.
