How to watch Unrivaled 3-on-3 season tipoff: Channel, streaming

The second season of Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 women’s professional basketball league, tips off on Monday, Jan. 5, in Miami with four games.

Unrivaled expanded from six teams to eight for 2026, with 48 players and a development pool of six ready to step in if someone gets hurt. Twenty six players return from last season including co-founder Breanna Stewart. Twenty two new players join them including rookies Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen.

Rose BC won the inaugural title but will be without Angel Reese, who decided not to play this season. One other notable absence is Unrivaled co-founder Napheesa Collier, who will miss the season because of surgery on both ankles.

Here’s a look at how to watch the Monday’s games and the rosters:
