Unrivaled is officially back.
The second season of the popular 3-on-3 offseason league tips off Monday afternoon. Two new teams, Breeze BC and Hive BC, enter the league in 2026. The number of players has grown from 36 to 48, with Cameron Brink, Paige Bueckers and Kelsey Mitchell among Unrivaled's newest stars.
However, the league suffered a tough blow last week when Lunar Owls star and Unrivaled co-founder Napheesa Collier was ruled out for the season after she chose to undergo ankle surgery. Collier was the league's MVP in 2025, when she won the midseason 1-on-1 tournament and guided Lunar Owls to the championship game against Rose BC.
All eight teams in action on Monday
To tip off the second season of Unrivaled, the league has announced a four-game slate on Monday that involves all eight teams.
First, Mitchell and Hive BC begin their campaign against Breanna Stewart and Mist BC at 1 p.m. Eastern. That will be followed by Vinyl vs. Laces, a game that features two elite scorers in Rhyne Howard (representing the Vinyl) and Jackie Young (representing the Laces).
In the late window, Lunar Owls and Rose BC will play in a rematch of last season's title game, while Bueckers and the star-studded Breeze take on Aliyah Boston and the Phantom.
