The 2026 Unrivaled playoffs are almost here. The 3-on-3 women's professional basketball teams starts the postseason on Feb. 28 at Sephora Arena in Miami.
Soon, six teams will put it all on the line for a title and the chance to walk away with cash. The semifinals will be at Barclays Center in New York on March 2. Then, on Wednesday, March 4, the league returns to Miami for the championship game. The prize pool for players who win a title is $600,000. (In 2025, the players on the championship team each received $50,000.)
The Unrivaled playoffs come after record crowd growth for the league in its second year of operation. During a Jan. 30 tour stop in Philadelphia, Unrivaled broke the all-time attendance record for a regular-season women's pro basketball game with 21,490 in attendance at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Now, as the semifinals move to Brooklyn, it will look to capitalize on the success it had in Philly. The playoffs also come following the much-anticipated return of defending champion and Rose forward Angel Reese.
