At a time when the WNBA has already announced plans to expand to 18 teams in the coming years, Unrivaled, founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, has also increased in scale . The league now boasts of paying the highest salaries in the history of American women’s team sports.

Unrivaled’s first season was a resounding success with The Rose winning the 3-on-3 championship and Napheesa Collier snagging the 1-on-1 tournament. The second season will see two new teams and 18 new roster spots being added, per The Athletic.

Breeze Basketball Club and Hive Basketball Club will join the existing six teams, adding 12 players directly into the pool. Further, a dedicated development player pool with six members has also been announced so that they can step in if there are injuries.
