How to Watch Connecticut Sun Players in Unrivaled This Season

The Connecticut Sun is in the midst of its offseason chaos, with a few players gearing up for the 2026 Unrivaled season. The Sun has three stars competing, including Saniya Rivers, Aaliyah Edwards and Marina Mabrey.
Rivers, a breakout rookie who stunned the WNBA world after smashing several records this year, will be playing for the Hive Basketball Club, one of the two expansion teams to enter the league this year. Forward Aaliyah Edwards will be playing for the Lunar Owls Basketball Club, as will veteran guard Marina Mabrey. Rivers, however, will be in unfamiliar territory without the comfort of her Connecticut teammates.
Now that Unrivaled's upcoming schedule has been released, where can fans expect to watch the three Sun players compete?
