Unrivaled will officially unveil its full 2026 club rosters and season schedule Wednesday night during a live broadcast on the B/R App and Bleacher Report’s YouTube channel, the league announced Monday.
The “Unrivaled Club Roster Reveal,” hosted by TNT Sports’ Renee Montgomery with Unrivaled athlete Natasha Cloud joining as guest analyst, will air at 7 p.m. ET. The show will feature the debut of all eight clubs’ player rosters and highlight key matchups ahead of the second season.
The upcoming season marks a major step for the league’s growth with the addition of two expansion clubs, Breeze BC and Hive BC, joining returning franchises Lunar Owls, Rose, Laces, Vinyl, Mist and Phantom. The expansion increases the total number of clubs from six to eight, while the league’s player pool has expanded to 48 athletes for the 2026 season.
Unrivaled’s head coaching staff conducted an internal draft to determine the rosters, using a modified selection process aimed at maintaining parity. The four playoff clubs from last season — Lunar Owls, Rose, Laces and Vinyl — were permitted to protect two returning players each, while non-playoff teams Mist and Phantom could retain one. Those protections reduced the eligible player pool to 38.
Expansion teams Breeze and Hive had no protected players but were granted the first and second overall picks, respectively, following a coin toss that gave Breeze the top selection. Teams forfeited draft picks corresponding to the number of protected players, with playoff clubs surrendering selections in the opening rounds.
The remaining draft followed a modified snake format designed to ensure balance across the league. Coaches selected one player from each of six position-based pods, creating six-player rosters.
Pod A featured a powerhouse group of guards including Paige Bueckers, Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, Skylar Diggins, Allisha Gray, Courtney Williams, Kelsey Mitchell and Kelsey Plum.
Pod B highlighted elite scoring wings such as Breanna Stewart, Kahleah Copper, Brittney Sykes, Satou Sabally, Rhyne Howard, Rickea Jackson, Sonia Citron and Marina Mabrey.
Pod C emphasized frontcourt versatility, with Napheesa Collier, Dominique Malonga, Alanna Smith, Alyssa Thomas, Aliyah Boston, Dearica Hamby, Azurá Stevens and Ezi Magbegor among the selections.
Pod D consisted of dynamic playmakers Aari McDonald, Dana Evans, Jordin Canada, Erica Wheeler, Sug Sutton, Veronica Burton, Rachel Banham and Natisha Hiedeman.
Pod E featured two-way guards and wings such as Natasha Cloud, Kate Martin, Maddy Siegrist, Arike Ogunbowale, Lexie Hull, Saniya Rivers, Rebecca Allen and Rae Burrell.
Pod F rounded out the draft pool with interior standouts including Shakira Austin, Brittney Griner, Li Yueru, Monique Billings, Kiki Iriafen, Aaliyah Edwards, Cameron Brink and Naz Hillmon.
With the addition of Breeze BC and Hive BC and a deep talent pool of returning and new players, Unrivaled’s sophomore season promises to build on the momentum of its debut campaign. Fans will get their first look at the new clubs, revamped rosters, and full schedule when the live reveal airs Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET.
