Lunar Owls
Lunar Owls will feature the other co-founder of the league, Napheesa Collier, and will be coached by DJ Sackmann. The Minnesota Lynx star will be joined by Skylar Diggins-Smith, Allisha Gray, Natasha Cloud, Shakira Austin and the other wild card spot.

When will Unrivaled League start?
The competition is set to start on Jan. 17, 2025. TNT Sports will broadcast the games, taking three weekly games to fans nationally. The competition will last eight weeks, setting players up to start preparing for the beginning of the 2025 WNBA season.
The last two spots should be announced soon, as they can still add a couple of players that can bring more attention to the league.
