Athletes Unlimited Basketball is a women's professional basketball league in the United States, founded in 2022. Athletes Unlimited announced the intention to create a basketball league on October 12, 2021, following the creations of Athletes Unlimited Softball, Athletes Unlimited Volleyball, and Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse.

League History[]
Athletes Unlimited was founded by Jonathan Soros and Jon Patricof.[2] There are no team owners, and league investors are capping their returns. Athletes share in the league profits, and are involved in the daily decision making.[3] [4]
The format in which teams are redrafted each week allows athletes to accumulate points for both individual and team performances, culminating with one individual winner. [5]
The first season of AU Basketball will feature 44 players competing in a five-week season from January 26 through February 26, 2022 and take place in Las Vegas.
