Unrivaled x TNT news: Full list of commentators and anchors for inaugural season ft. Lisa Leslie & Candace Parker

With the uptick in interest in the WNBA, basketball stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier teamed up with investors to offer the players an alternative way to make money during the offseason.

Unrivaled, a new 3-on-3 basketball tournament will give WNBA players a chance to stay in the U.S. instead of going abroad. At the same time, fans will get a glimpse of an innovative and entertaining product.

The league will also reportedly feature the first-ever 1-on-1 tournament, and stars like Angel Reese, Aaliyah Edwards, Rickea Jackson, Sabrina Ionescu and Brittney Griner will take part in the first edition.

If that wasn't enough, it seems like the inaugural edition of Unrivaled will also feature a star-studded list of anchors and commentators for the first year.

Candace Parker, Lauren Jbara, and Renee Montgomery will lead studio coverage at TNT, while Lisa Leslie will make special appearances.

Then, Lisa Leslie, Brendan Glasheen, and Sarah Kustok will handle play-by-play duties, with rotations from Ros Gold-Onwude, Taylor Rooks, Stephanie Ready, and Allie LaForce.

How to watch Unrivaled?

All games will air either on TNT or truTV. TNT will broadcast games on Fridays and Sundays, with truTV getting the nod on Saturdays. On top of that, hoops fans will be able to watch broadcasts of all games on Max.

The league will tip off on Friday, January 17, with Mist and Lunar Owls squaring off at 7:00 pm (ET), followed by Rose and Vynil playing at 8:15 pm (ET). Both of those games will be aired on TNT.

Ernesto Cova is a journalist at Sportskeeda with a PhD in Sports Psychology. His education helped him develop a clearer understanding of the sports world as a whole, including basketball. Ernesto has over eight years of experience in the field, working for Fadeaway World, The Inquisitr, NBA Blast, The Cold Wire and Bolavip, among others.

His favorite team is the Chicago Bulls because of the Michael Jordan era. Jordan is Ernesto's all-time favorite, as he changed the game forever. Ernesto's second favorite was Kobe Bryant because he embodied that same competitive fire and Ernesto watched him play throughout his entire career. Nowadays, Ernesto really likes Stephen Curry, who he believes to be the most influential player of the past 15 years or so.

Ernesto's favorite basketball moment was when Venezuela -- his country -- took down Canada to take home the 2015 FIBA Americas Cup.

When not watching or writing about basketball, Ernesto likes to read and is interested in photography.
