Catching on some of these games, and it's a pretty cool league.

Obviously doesn't have Unrivaled talent, but some pretty good WNBA players. Ty Harris, Odyssey Sims, Kia Nurse, Alysha Clark, Elizabeth Williams, Maddy Siegrist, Izzy Harrison, Lexie Brown, and of course Jordan Horston until the ACL tear.

Allisha Gray won it last year (that woman won't be denied when there's prize money up for grabs).

Players are awarded points for individual and team stuff. Teams change each week. The top 4 in points each week are captains for the next week, and draft a new team.

4th season this year in Nashville (record attendance in the opening week). Players average making about $100K.

Games generally on ESPN+, WNBA App, and FanDuel. AFAIK, most replays are free on the WNBA App.
Definitely worth checking out.

Women's basketball is in such a unique spot. Not a lot of sports/leagues where there is more going on in the off-season than the main league's season. WNBA off-season is chocked full of college basketball and pro players trying to make some money and earn a WNBA roster spot.
