Unrivaled Basketball has officially announced the return of its marquee 1v1 tournament for the 2026 season.
Dubbed "Crown the One," the three-day competition will run February 11th through 14th inside Miami's Sephora Arena. The contest will feature 32 of the offseason league’s top competitors, showcasing individual skills and high-intensity matchups in a format that departs from the league's standard 3×3 play.
However, 2025 Unrivaled 1v1 champion Napheesa Collier will not compete. The Lunar Owls forward remains sidelined with injury this season.
To maximize speed and efficiency, each 1v1 game will last a maximum of 10 minutes — or until a player reaches 11 points. A seven-second shot clock will cover every possession, with the game clock running continuously throughout.
The championship round, set for the tournament's last night, will shift to a best-of-three series. Here, each game will play out to a seven-point winning score to determine the overall winner.
Financial incentives drive much of Unrivaled Basketball's events, aligning with the offseason venture's mission to directly invest in its players. The 1v1 tournament's total prize pool is $300,000, with the champion earning $200,000, while the runner-up receives $50,000. Each of the two semifinalists will take home $25,000.
Additional details, including the full athlete roster and tournament brackets, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
