There’s a lot to unpack, so lace ’em up and let’s hoop to it.👇⁣
⁣
Project B, a new women’s basketball league set to launch in November 2026, announced its first player signing on Wednesday: WNBPA president and 10-time WNBA All-Star Nneka Ogwumike. 😯⁣
⁣
The global league will feature traditional 5-on-5 basketball and run from November to April — notably not conflicting with the WNBA schedule. Six 11-player teams will compete in two-week tournaments across Europe, Asia, and Latin America on a traveling circuit. 🏀⁣
⁣
But Project B’s biggest draw is the money: The salaries will reportedly dwarf what’s offered by both the WNBA and Unrivaled, while also offering players equity stake in the league. Money talks, after all. 💰⁣
⁣
Project B isn’t a direct competitor for the WNBA as it will run during the W’s offseason. Instead, it’ll run concurrently with Unrivaled and Athletes Unlimited, offering a tournament-based 5-on-5 product. This stands in stark contrast to Unrivaled’s unique 3v3 version of basketball and AU’s player-first competition model. 👀⁣
