Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball is a women’s professional basketball league based in the United States that showcases 40 of the world’s best female players. The league offers more opportunities for women to play professionally in the U.S. and allows WNBA players to remain in the country year‑round.
The competition follows a fast‑paced, full‑court 5‑on‑5 format, distinguished by an innovative scoring system that rewards individual and team performances alike.
Full seasons of the league are broadcast on ESPN platforms, giving viewers regular access to high‑stakes games where every player can gain or lose points, influencing MVP voting and cash bonuses.
Player‑Driven Innovation
Off the court, the athletes recruit fellow pros, help craft league rules and retain equity in the league, turning the competition into a collaborative venture.
Each week the top four performers become captains, drafting new teams from scratch for that week’s matchups, while the league has introduced fresh identities — Gold Rush, Glow, Rhythm and Eclipse — to give the squads distinct personalities.
