Azzi Fudd, Carmelo Anthony among star-studded crowd at Unrivaled semis

Unrivaled hosted its semifinals on Monday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The stop reportedly generated $1 million in gate revenue as Vinyl, Phantom, Breeze and Mist competed for a chance to advance to the championship game on Wednesday.

The sold-out crowd of 18,261 included UConn Huskies guard Azzi Fudd and NBA legend Carmelo Anthony. Other celebrities in the crowd included Sabrina Ionescu, Issa Rae, Justin Tuck, Sue Bird, Jason Sudeikis, Wanda Sykes, Kelley O’Hara, Ashton Kutcher and league investor Alex Morgan.

With no WNBA games currently happening and CBA negotiations still in flux, the crowd at Barclays started chanting three words during Monday’s games:

‘Pay the players!’ the people attending said.

The 2026 Unrivaled Playoffs continue at Sephora Arena in Miami on Wednesday, March 4. The championship game is scheduled for at 9:30 p.m. ET on TNT, truTV and HBO Max.
