Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart are two WNBA veterans whose names will forever be in basketball history.
The duo launched the Unrivaled league with high hopes, and it’s paying the dividends. With the world against its direct clash with the WNBA, Stewart stands strong by Collier’s side in the adverse scenario.
However, fans who have recently started following the subsequent leagues around the WNBA are now curious about who’s playing for whom.
So before the next season kicks off, let’s explore the full Unrivaled lineup.
Rose BC
Undoubtedly, Rose BC is one of the most popular teams in the Unrivaled stat sheet. While they cash on the last year’s championship festivities, the lineup has undergone a significant change with Angel Reese opting out.
Although Rose BC could still pose a threat to the opponent teams, given their roster depth.

However, the team retains core players Lexie Hull, Kahleah Copper, Azura Stevens, and Finals MVP Chelsea Gray. Sug Sutton and Shakira Austin complete the roster, maintaining a strong foundation for another title run.
Vinyl BC
The next team up in the popularity chart is the Venyl BC. They were the finalists from the previous season and feature a revamped lineup.
The team will see the return of Rhyne Howard, Dearica Hamby, and Rae Burrell, who will all be joined by Brittney Griner, Erica Wheeler, and Courtney Williams.
The guard rotation has strong depth in Wheeler, Williams, Burrell, and Howard, which positions Vinyl as a formidable offensive threat. Arike Ogunbowale, Jordin Canada, and Aliyah Boston are other major names to look for.
Phantom BC
Phantom BC welcomes Kiki Iriafen for the Unrivaled debut, alongside returning star Satou Sabally.
The team is rounded out by Kelsey Plum, Aliyah Boston, Dana Evans, Natasha Cloud, and an unnamed player.
Laces BC
While most other teams in the league are looking for something specific, Laces BC looks to build on a strong start with a healthier Jackie Young, the only holdover from last year, alongside Alyssa Thomas.
Brittney Sykes, Jordin Canada, Maddy Siegrist, and Naz Hillmon join to form a balanced team, with Young’s return expected to take their performance to a whole new level.
Mist BC
Quite unlike and not commonly seen before, co-founder Breanna Stewart anchors Mist BC as the sole returning player from a struggling Season 1 team.
Arike Ogunbowale, Li Yueru, Veronica Burton, All-Star Allisha Gray, and Alanna Smith will join her, along with the co-Defensive Player of the Year, A’ja Wilson.
Lunar Owls BC
With a strong 13-1 record in Season 1, the Lunar Owls are looking unputdownable.
With the return of another veteran co-founder, Napheesa Collier, the inaugural MVP, along with Skylar Diggins, the Owls could turn things around.
New additions Marina Mabrey, Rachel Banham, Rebecca Allen, and Aaliyah Edwards strengthen a roster poised for another dominant run.
Hive BC
Hive BC is one of two new teams, featuring WNBA rookies Sonia Citron and Saniya Rivers, and aims to surprise.
Veteran support comes from Natisha Hiedeman, Ezi Magbegor, and Mo Billings, with Kelsey Mitchell, a WNBA MVP contender, serving as the team’s top threat.
Breeze BC
Breeze BC, the second new team, is the youngest roster, led by WNBA rookies Paige Bueckers and Dominique Malonga.
The LA Sparks duo Rickea Jackson and Cameron Brink bring chemistry, while Kate Martin and Aari McDonald add playmaking and shooting prowess.
The absence of stars like Sabrina Ionescu, Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and A’ja Wilson shifts the focus to emerging talents like Bueckers and Brink, setting the stage for a competitive Season 2 starting January 2026.
