A thrilling 3x3 basketball festival is coming to cool down the summer heat for women's basketball fans.
The Korea Women's Basketball League (WKBL) announced on the 30th that it will hold the '2026 BNK Financial WKBL 3x3 Triple Jam' on July 18-19 at the Center Hall, 1st Floor, Lotte Mall Suji Branch, Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province.
This year's tournament boasts a more spectacular lineup than ever before. The women's 3x3 national team, which will compete at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, this September, will participate to fine-tune their game readiness. In addition, WKBL will form and participate with two WKBL All-Star teams, each composed of promising players from various clubs, moving away from the previous single-team system.
The lineup of overseas teams is also impressive. A total of three teams will compete on Korean soil for the title of the strongest women's 3x3 basketball team, including Florish Gunma (Japan), the 2024 tournament champion; Uncle Drew (Philippines), the runner-up from last year; and Will (Japan), which reached the semifinals in the 2023 tournament.
Notably, this year marks the first time in the tournament's history that it will be co-hosted with the men's division of the Korea Basketball Association (2026 KBA 3x3 Prime League 4th Tournament).
WKBL stated, "It is expected to become a festival where the dynamic charm of both men's and women's 3x3 basketball can be enjoyed simultaneously in one place."
Furthermore, WKBL announced that the event venue will feature a spectacular photo zone for basketball fans and various participatory events, aiming to captivate citizens visiting the shopping mall and women's basketball fans.
Meanwhile, the list of participating players and the detailed tournament bracket will be released at a later date.
