  • Unrivaled isn't just any startup league. The post Amid $40M Loss, WNBA Faces New Threat from Unrivaled as 3x3 League Brings Exciting Opportunity appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is currently facing financial challenges, having reported a $40 million loss in 2023, despite a slight increase in revenue. Amidst these struggles, a new competitor, Unrivaled, a 3x3 basketball league, has emerged, offering an alternative for players with its innovative format and significant financial backing. Unrivaled, co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, aims to provide players with higher salaries and the opportunity to stay in the U.S. during the off-season, potentially drawing talent away from the WNBA. This league not only promises better compensation but also introduces a fresh, engaging game format that could appeal to fans and investors alike. The emergence of Unrivaled represents both a threat to the WNBA's player pool and an exciting new opportunity for women's basketball, potentially reshaping the landscape of professional women's sports.
