Women's professional basketball will visit basketball fans this summer alongside various tournaments.

The Women's Korean Basketball League (WKBL) announced on the 22nd that it has "confirmed the schedule and venues for major events to be held from July to October this year," stating that "in the second half of the year, a variety of events ranging from 3x3 tournaments to stages for promising future players and international competitions will visit basketball fans."

The first event of the second half will be the 3x3 Triple Jam. The '2026 3x3 Triple Jam' will be held over two days on July 18 and 19 at the Lotte Mall Suji branch in Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province.

Teams from the 3x3 women's national basketball team of Korea, as well as domestic and international 3x3 basketball teams, will participate in this tournament. Notably, this year it will be co-hosted with the 4th tournament of the '2026 KBA 3x3 Prime League' organized by the Korea Basketball Association, allowing fans to watch both women's and men's games in one venue.

Starting July 29, the '2026 Futures League,' a true test of the promising players who will lead the future, will take over the baton. The Futures League will be held for a total of nine days until August 6 at Bucheon Gymnasium. Following last year, this year's event is expected to be a stage for the development and growth of promising players, with not only domestic teams but also overseas teams from Japan and other countries participating.

In October, the '2026 Park Shin-ja Cup,' which has established itself as Korea's largest women's basketball international tournament, will be held. The Park Shin-ja Cup will take place from October 3 to 11, spanning nine days, at Cheongju Gymnasium.

The WKBL explained, "Overseas clubs from various countries including Asia and North America are scheduled to participate in this tournament, and it is expected to serve as a final check on the strength of each team ahead of the opening of the 2026-2027 women's professional basketball season."

Details such as the bracket for each tournament, participating team information, and viewing guidelines will be announced sequentially at a later date.
