In late 2022, Breanna Stewart joined a movement to change women's professional basketball by co-founding Unrivaled, designed to keep top players stateside during off-seasons. The league promises unprecedented salaries and player equity, coinciding with surging WNBA viewership and attendance. Stewart, excited about Unrivaled’s potential, believes it can enhance players' experiences and elevate the women's game. With playoffs on the horizon and a record-breaking season, she encourages investment in women's sports. Unrivaled aims to raise the standards and create lasting impacts in the evolving landscape of women's basketball.
It’s crazy to think about that meeting to where we are now, Stewart said as Unrivaled approaches the end of its initial 10-week season.
We're uplifting the standard by just showing that when you invest and get behind us, anything is possible, Stewart said.
Unrivaled launched at a critical juncture in the sport. The explosive growth coincides with negotiations.
Stewart is optimistic that Unrivaled can push the landscape even further.
