The unrivaled 3-on-3 basketball league is expanding to 36 roster spots ahead of its debut season

Napheesa Collier, Minnesota Lynx star and co-founder of Unrivaled, announced on social media Thursday that the 3-on-3 women's league, set to begin in January, is expanding from 30 to 36 players.

“We are able to do this because we exceeded our financial forecasts. Now we can do something we wanted to do in the future, which is give more people spots on Unrivaled,” Collier said.

There are currently 30 players committed to the league, with Lexie Hull, Aaliyah Edwards, Kate Martin and Aliyah Boston being the latest additions announced this week. They join Unrivaled co-founders Collier and Breanna Stewart, Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Brittney Griner, Kelsey Plum and Angel Reese, among others.

The expanded player slots now call for six six-player teams to play 14 games each, with the season ending with a single-elimination Final Four. The games are played on a 70-foot court and include an 18-second shot clock, three 7-minute periods and a final 15-point runoff in the final quarter.

On February 10th there will be an all-star event as well as an individual tournament with all 30 players. The winner will receive $250,000 in prize money.

The league's games will take place from January 17th to March 17th in Miami. 45 games will be broadcast in prime time following a media rights deal with TNT Sports.

Last week Laces, Mist, Rose, Lunar Owls, Phantom and Vinyl were announced as the six team names.

The league will also offer players high salaries, with each player receiving at least $100,000 for the season. The total payout for the league will be around $3 million. The six-figure salaries are believed to be the highest average in U.S. professional women's team sports.

Two WNBA stars – A'ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark – have yet to say whether they will participate in Unrivaled.

“We will always have a squad spot for Caitlin Clark,” Unrivaled president Alex Bazzell told Sportico. “We don’t use a full court press like people think. We let basketball relax them. … She knows we have a place for her when she’s ready.”
