With just one game remaining in the 2026 Unrivaled regular season, the postseason fates of all eight 3×3 basketball teams are set, with six squads already clinching their spots in Saturday's playoffs.
Original Unrivaled franchises Phantom, Mist, Laces, Vinyl, and defending champion Rose BC are all moving forward along with rookie expansion side Breeze BC, while the 2025 semifinalist Lunar Owls and 2026 debutant Hive BC will both see their seasons end on Friday afternoon.
"I think us clicking off the court really helps us click on the court," Phantom guard Tiffany Hayes said of her league-leading team's six-game winning streak following their victory over the Laces last Friday. "Hopefully, we'll keep going up and get some more done."
Seeding could make all the difference in this year's expanded postseason field, as the season's top two finishers will secure automatic byes through to the 2026 semifinals — set for Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Monday, March 2nd.
Meanwhile, the remaining four playoff teams will tip off first-round play this Saturday, with the postseason culminating in a single-game championship round in Miami on Wednesday, March 4th.
The 2026 Unrivaled champions will split a $600,000 prize pool, up from the $50,000-per-player payday Rose BC banked in 2025.
