The New York Liberty may have just clinched their first-ever WNBA championship to close out a historic season, but fans of women’s basketball won’t have to wait long for more exciting action. In January 2024, the inaugural season of Unrivaled, a brand-new basketball league founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, will make its debut.
Unrivaled is a high-stakes, high-profile venture that has already attracted some of the biggest names in women’s basketball, including Chelsea Gray, Arike Ogunbowale, Brittney Griner, and college sensation Angel Reese.
With only four roster spots left to be filled, the league is nearly ready to reveal the full 30-woman lineup that will compete in its first season.
On Thursday, Unrivaled took another significant step toward launching by unveiling the team names and logos for the six clubs that will battle it out in the inaugural season. The names are unique, the logos are sleek, and the buzz around the new league is growing.
The six teams in Unrivaled will be:
- The Laces
- The Mist
- The Phantom
- The Lunar Owls
- The Rose
- The Vinyl
These names reflect a blend of creativity and flair, but it’s the accompanying logos that have really caught the attention of fans. The designs are bold and modern, adding a stylish edge that’s sure to make merchandise highly coveted once it hits the shelves.

While further details about the league are still being kept under wraps, anticipation is building as the countdown to the January tip-off in Miami begins.
Collier and Stewart’s vision for Unrivaled is to create a premier competition during the WNBA offseason, providing fans with more high-level women’s basketball throughout the year while giving athletes an alternative to playing overseas.
The promise of Unrivaled is not just about basketball; it’s about redefining the sport and giving players more control over their careers while playing in a competitive environment.
With a growing list of superstar talent on board, a fresh brand identity, and games set to be played in one of the most vibrant cities in the U.S., the league is positioned to make a significant impact on women’s sports.
As the final pieces come together, all eyes will be on Unrivaled as it prepares to tip off its first season. Fans are eager to see which four players will complete the roster, what the game format will look like, and how the league will carve out its own space in the basketball landscape.
With a championship pedigree already embedded in its founders and star players, Unrivaled is poised to make waves from the moment the first whistle blows.
