WNBA's Napheesa Collier reveals insane cash prize for Unrivaled winner

The WNBA may be the top women's basketball league, but the upcoming Unrivaled league is expected to give the best players a shot to earn some major money during the offseason by competing with and against each other. And according to Napheesa Collier, Unrivaled's one-vs-one tournament will offer a big prize.

While Unrivaled will be a three-vs-three basketball league with six teams and 30 players in total, a one-vs-one tournament will be held, pitting the league's best players against each other in the most direct way. Collier, one of the co-founders of Unrivaled, answered a few questions about the league on social media this week, including if she could share more details about the one-vs-one tournament, which was announced to be taking place in February.

“So it’s a single elimination tournament to determine the best 1v1 player in the world,” Collier wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “And I’m ACTUALLY not supposed to say this but…first place gets minimum $250k.”

A prize of $250,000 would be a big prize for WNBA players, none of whom earn more in WNBA salary than $241,984, the league's maximum salary. But it should come as little surprise, as Unrivaled has marketed itself as “setting a record with the highest average salaries in women’s sports history” and that “all 30 initial players will receive equity ownership.”
