Overview
- Opening day on Jan. 5 features four games, with truTV carrying all matchups and TNT simulcasting select windows, including Phantom vs. Breeze at 9:15 p.m. ET.
- Vinyl BC brings back coach Teresa Weatherspoon and adds Brittney Griner, Erica Wheeler and Courtney Williams to a core that reached last season’s final and thrived offensively.
- Phantom BC leans on Kelsey Plum and a deep backcourt as Satou Sabally’s availability is limited by post–head-injury effects, with Roneeka Hodges debuting as head coach.
- Season previews highlight Unrivaled’s untimed, target-score fourth quarter as a tactical wrinkle that rewards pace, shooting and late-game decision-making.
- The league plays primarily in Miami with a Jan. 30 stop in Philadelphia, runs through early March, and includes a mid-February 1-on-1 tournament on truTV and TNT.
