UNRIVALED SHINES IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE

On January 30, Xfinity Mobile Arena drew a record 21,490 fans, a building record and a regular-season record for women’s professional basketball.

The fans in Philly and viewers at home were treated to a fantastic doubleheader. In the opener, hometown hero Natasha Cloud’s Phantom held on to beat Paige Bueckers and the Breeze 71-68.

The night was a Philly celebration, but New Jersey made its presence known in a MAJOR way. Mabrey went off for an Unrivaled record 47 points and had Philly on tilt the entire evening.

Although Kahleah Copper’s Rose BC couldn’t stop the Mabrey onslaught, it was a special night for the hometown hero.

The stars were out and provided memories that will last a lifetime. Unrivaled has had to manage growing pains in 2026, but this outing is an overwhelming success and something the league can build on.

"It's just a testament to what we're building here, how much people believe in it," Unrivaled co-founder Napheesa Collier said. "So to have the city show out like this, to break a record in all of women's professional basketball here tonight, and for it to be Unrivaled, I think it's just amazing. The future's Unrivaled."

“I’m so proud of y’all for showing up,” Copper said before the game began. “I love my city. Y’all showed up and showed out, selling this crowd out … Shoutout to the north side of Philly. Philly is Unrivaled.”

Unrivaled’s first road outing was a massive success. Their community presence was felt, and they delivered tremendous basketball in the main event.

As they continue to establish themselves, nights like these go a long way toward building their reputation across sports.
