Unrivaled officially revealed its full 2027 club rosters on November 4 during a live Bleacher Report broadcast, setting the stage for what projects as one of the most star-laden and competitive seasons in the league’s short history. 2026 WNBA Finals MVP and Unrivaled newcomer Gabby Williams headlines Laces BC, while unanimous WNBA Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles headlines Hive BC presented by Chegg.
The league returns all eight clubs from Season 2 following last year’s two-team expansion. Half the players are returning to a club they previously played for, and more than 75 percent of the league is signed to multiyear deals. With a $600,000 championship prize pool at stake, the rosters feature four 2026 WNBA champions, a combined 80 WNBA All-Star selections, and 30 top-10 draft picks.
New club merchandise is already available at shop.unrivaled.basketball. Season 3 jerseys, produced in partnership with new apparel partner Adidas, will be released later this fall. Game matchups for the previously announced dates will be revealed Friday, November 6, with the full schedule posted at unrivaled.basketball/schedule. The season tips off January 8, 2027.

Coach Reactions
Breeze BC – Jarell Christian:
“When I look at the 2027 Breeze, I see a group of competitors who play with passion and pride. I love the versatility throughout our roster, which will allow us to play and win in a variety of ways. I’m excited to welcome Paige and Dom back for their second season with the Breeze. Their familiarity and chemistry will be extremely valuable to our success. Adding a player of Kahleah’s caliber is special, but it’s her character, professionalism, and spirit that will help shape the culture we’re looking to build. … Kaitlyn, DiJonai, and Mo embody that team-first mentality. … We’re going to embrace the process of growing together, compete at a high level every night, and build a team that Breeze fans can continue to be proud of.”
Hive BC – Barb Turner:
“I’m so excited to step into my first Unrivaled season and lead the Hive. This group has the speed, the skill, and the competitive edge to play a style of basketball that’s fun to watch and tough to guard. Having playmakers like Olivia Miles, with her vision and poise running the floor, and Sonia Citron, with her shot-making and two-way impact, gives us a great foundation, along with the scoring and versatility that is amongst this roster. But what I’m most looking forward to is building something together and getting this Hive buzzing in Miami.”
Laces BC – Andrew Wade:
“I’m excited and honored to lead the Laces in Year 3! We have really dynamic guard play in Jackie, Gabby and Marine. Jess, Satou and Maddy provide great positional size and playmaking. I’m really looking forward to seeing this group gel and play a connected, competitive style of basketball.”
Lunar Owls BC – Pokey Chatman:
“One of the things that excites me about Unrivaled is the freedom the format gives great players to be themselves. Our Lunar Owls group brings an elite skill set, high basketball IQ, a championship mindset and no shortage of personality. They know the rhythm of this league, and having their experience alongside me is a great way to step into my first season. I want us to play with a clear sense of who we are, bring out the best in each other and have fun doing it.”
Mist BC – Zach O’Brien:
“We couldn’t be more excited for the 2027 Unrivaled Season! The Mist have some new faces, but the identity hasn’t changed. We are built on connection and competition. We pride ourselves on playing hard, playing fast, and playing for each other. Our focus is stacking good days and letting the work speak for itself. Go Mist!”
Phantom BC – Roneeka Hodges:
“I’m looking forward to starting the new season with Phantom. I’m really excited to continue building off of last season with our core! I welcome the professionalism, skill and energy KMac, Li and Aaliyah will add to the Ghost Gang! We will defend, play physical, fast, compete at a high level, and have fun doing it!”
Rose BC – Nola Henry:
“I’m excited about the group we’ve put together. We have a great mix of experience, toughness, versatility, and competitiveness. My focus is on establishing our identity early, maximizing everyone’s strengths, and building the chemistry needed to compete for a championship. That’s always our standard.”
Vinyl BC – Teresa Weatherspoon:
“I couldn’t be more excited to step back onto the floor for my third season with Vinyl Basketball Club. This league is all about competition, and we are going to be relentless on the defensive end, play for one another every single possession, and put in the hard work required to win. Most importantly, we’re going to compete hard, hold each other accountable, and have fun doing it. Spin dat!”
With Williams joining an already potent Laces backcourt alongside Jackie Young and Marine Johannès, Miles stepping into a featured playmaking role for Hive, and established cores on clubs like Phantom, Mist, and Vinyl returning with championship pedigree, the 2027 Unrivaled season is positioned for high-level competition from tip-off. The combination of continuity, new star power, and the league’s growing talent pool sets up a compelling race for the $600,000 prize.
