After two seasons of anticipation, Minnesota fans will get a visit from the 3-on-3 women’s basketball league Unrivaled.
The announcement that Minneapolis made the cut for a tour stop was made on the league’s social media, where it has been releasing different destinations over the past few weeks.
The Minneapolis game will be Jan. 24, according to the video. Tickets go live for Unrivaled newsletter subscribers on Thursday at 3 p.m. General sale tickets open at 4 p.m.
The league was cofounded by Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier and New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart in 2023, with its inaugural season featuring six teams in 2025. In its second year in 2026, it grew to eight teams.
