Unrivaled is once again taking its show on the road.<\/p>\n

After the success of its first tour stop in Philadelphia, which set a professional women\u2019s basketball attendance record<\/a>, the three-on-three league is heading to Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the semifinal round of its postseason on Monday, March 2.<\/p>\n

The Unrivaled postseason includes the top six of the league\u2019s eight teams. The first round featuring the third through sixth seeds will take place at the league\u2019s home base in Medley, Fla. on Feb. 28. The final four teams will then head to Brooklyn for the second round before the league returns to Sephora Arena in Florida for the championship game on March 4.<\/p>\n

Per league sources, the opportunity to play at Barclays Center came together quickly after the Philadelphia games on Jan. 30. Unrivaled generated $2 million in revenue that night; more than $1 million came from ticket revenue and $400,000 from in-arena merchandise sales. Ticketmaster data showed that the largest portion of fans came from Philadelphia, but the second-most represented market was New York City. That, combined with the city\u2019s support of the WNBA \u2014 the New York Liberty averaged more than 16,300 fans per home game in 2025 \u2014 made Brooklyn a natural landing spot for Unrivaled\u2019s next road date.<\/p>\n

The league plans to have multiple regular-season road stops in 2027 but has yet to announce the locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring Unrivaled to NYC for the first time and are thankful for the opportunity to showcase the game on one of our biggest stages yet,\u201d Unrivaled president Alex Bazzell said in a statement to The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Unrivaled has six nights remaining in its second regular season. The Laces and Phantom have already qualified for the playoffs. Reigning champions Rose BC sit in fifth place in the standings but just welcomed back 2025 defensive player of the year Angel Reese<\/a> for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n
