Players are spread six per team. Teams aren’t drafted by front offices; a selection committee balances rosters by position and skill, so cores rarely survive intact from one season to the next.
Unrivaled 2027 Player List
These are the 50 players on the league’s 2027 player list as of October 29, 2026. Names in red have not appeared on a 2025 or 2026 roster or in the 2026 development pool.
The league lists 50 names for 48 team spots; the final split will be confirmed at the reveal.
Who’s New and Who’s Gone in 2027
Back after a year away
Kayla McBride, a 2025 All-Unrivaled First Team pick, returns after sitting out 2026. DiJonai Carrington, who played for Mist in 2025, is also back on the list.
Not on the 2027 list
Thirteen players from 2026 rosters aren’t on the current list, including Alyssa Thomas, Kelsey Mitchell, Brittney Griner, Kiki Iriafen, Azurá Stevens and Alanna Smith. Thomas and Mitchell both signed with Project B, the new 5-on-5 international league whose season overlaps with Unrivaled’s.
Paige Bueckers made the 2026 All-Unrivaled First Team as a first-year player and is back for Year 2 of her three-year deal. Olivia Miles makes her Unrivaled debut.
