Unrivaled, the three-on-three women's basketball league co-founded by WNBA star Breanna Stewart, is setting new attendance records and redefining the landscape of women's sports. The league recently drew a record-breaking 21,490 fans in Philadelphia for a regular season game, surpassing previous records for women's basketball and even professional basketball overall.
Stewart emphasized that the league's success is "more than just hype," highlighting the quality of play and player treatment. Unrivaled is committed to keeping players in the United States during the WNBA offseason by offering competitive salaries, with an reported average of $222,222. Furthermore, the league provides players with equity, giving them a stake in its growth.
"We’re paying the players what they deserve, paying the players adequately and trying to make sure every year that’s going up a tremendous amount," Stewart stated. The league's impact extends beyond attendance, setting a new standard for player compensation and investment in women's sports.
