The Unrivaled league set their semifinals at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn following a huge success in Philadelphia. Phantom BC and Mist BC advanced to the semifinals as the top two sides in the standings and welcomed Vinyl BC and Breeze BC as the other two semifinalists.
All four teams had a packed arena, cheering for them, and an opportunity to shine the brightest in front of some of the top celebrities in the arena. Kelsey Plum led the side for the Phantom BC, and Breanna Stewart captains the Mist BC side.

The Phantom BC had multiple difficulties in the season, with injuries handing the side only five active players for the majority of the season. They welcome Mikayla Timpson and Aziahs James for the semifinals following the injury to Aliyah Boston.
On the court, the Phantom BC players put in extra effort behind their defensive plays and showed ‘unselfish’ plays on the offensive end to hold off the strong Vinyl BC team, featuring in-form Dearica Hamby and Rea Burrell.

Phantom BC With Slight Advantage In Unrivaled Final
HC Roneeka Hodges utilized the KP-AB combination effectively to take control of the games in the regular season. But with the Fever forward’s season-ending injury, she will have to come up with different tactics to defeat their upcoming opponents. There are a few advantages for the Phantom side.
In the 2025-26 season, the Phantom BC won both games against the Mist BC, leapfrogging them in the regular season standings. The side is also on a nine-game winning run, giving them momentum in the game. Also, more responsibility for Natasha Cloud and Iriafen in the semifinals will lift their morale and confidence for the final.
While Mist BC leads the season stats, including average points, rebounds, and steals, it’ll be interesting to see how they can capitalise on AB’s absence in the game.
