The draw, match schedule, and participating roster for the '2026 BNK Financial Group WKBL 3x3 Triple Jam,' held over two days starting on the 18th at Lotte Mall Suji in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, have been finalized.

On the 9th, the WKBL (Women's Korean Basketball League) announced that it will depart from its traditional single-team club format for this tournament and introduce two new united teams composed of promising players from each club: 'Triple W' and 'W Jam.' Triple W features Yu Ha-eun (Samsung Life), Hwang Hyun-jeong (Shinhan Bank), Choi Ye-won, and Kim Sol (both Woori Bank). W Jam is lined up with Ha Ji-yoon, Kim Yeon-jin (both Hana Bank), Park Da-won (BNK Sum), and Go Hyeon-ji (KB Stars).

The South Korean women's 3x3 national basketball team, which will compete in the September Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, will also use this tournament to fine-tune its competitive readiness. Led by Song Yun-ha (KB Stars), the 2025-2026 season Sixth Man winner, four players including Choi Ye-seul (Samsung Life), Heo Yu-jeong (Shinhan Bank), and Kim Jong-un (BNK Sum) will don the national jersey and compete.

There have been some changes in the lineup of overseas participating teams. With the Philippines' 'Uncle Drew' unable to participate due to internal circumstances, 'Lion City,' centered on Singaporean national team players, has joined as a replacement.

The 2024 tournament champions, 'Flourish Gunma (Japan),' will aim to reclaim the title for the first time in two years. They are fielding Hitano Miki, who played as an Asia quota player for Samsung Life and Shinhan Bank, and 196cm tall center Seicha Grant Allen, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2017 WNBA Draft.

The 'Will (Japan)' team, which reached the semifinals in the 2023 tournament, is drawing attention with its solid lineup of ethnic Korean players from Japan. Featuring Kaneda Mana from the Japanese W League's Toyota Antelopes, along with three ethnic Korean players—Kim Ri-hye (formerly of Aisin Wings) and Choi Yu-ri—the team is targeting its first-ever championship in this tournament.
