New Professional Women’s Basketball League Set to Launch

The league is the brainchild of Briana Davis, forward for the Boston Shamrocks, who has long advocated for greater visibility and opportunity in women’s professional basketball.

“This league is about giving players the stage they deserve,” Davis said.

“Fans get to experience elite basketball in an exciting new format, and players get recognition for their dedication and skill. I wanted to create a space where the game, and the athletes who play it, are front and center.”

The Miami-based league promises professional-grade facilities and strong media coverage to highlight its players.

Organizers are also planning community-focused events and fan engagement initiatives to connect athletes directly with supporters.

“We want to make this more than just a season—it’s about building a culture around women’s basketball that’s fast, fun, and impossible to ignore,” Davis added.

As preparations move forward, Davis has said her goal is clear: “We’re giving women’s basketball a platform it hasn’t had before. The spotlight is on the players, the action is non-stop, and the fans are going to see some of the best basketball in the world—all in Miami.”
