MIES (Switzerland) – The FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series 2026 marked another major step forward for the global circuit, with a record 25-stop season expanding its international footprint and strengthening connections with fans worldwide.

France (FRA) capped the season by winning the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Project Redwings Shanghai Final 2026, with Laetitia Guapo named MVP. The result gave France their third Women’s Series Final win, following titles in 2019 and 2024.

Digital audience continues to expand year on year

The 2026 digital results continued the strong growth seen across the previous two seasons:

• 90 million views (up from 48.0 million in 2025 | +88%)

• 137.8 million impressions (up from 70.0 million in 2025 | +97%)

• 4.6 million engagements (up from 2.6 million in 2025 | +77%)
  The figures underline the scale of the competition’s digital growth, with views nearly doubling year-on-year and impressions approaching twice the 2025 total.

They also reflect the increasingly global nature of the circuit, with host cities across multiple regions providing distinctive settings and local audiences before the season culminated in Shanghai.

Shanghai Final’s digital reach

The FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Project Redwings Shanghai Final 2026 provided a strong finish to the season, generating 12.82 million views and 14.43 million impressions across FIBA 3×3’s own channels.

That compares with 5.96 million views and 8.8 million impressions for the 2025 Final, representing increases of approximately 115% in views and 64% in impressions.

The Project Redwings Shanghai Final 2026 LOC also reported that 70 Chinese media outlets registered on site, while more than 3,600 visitors registered online and attended across the two competition days.

Beyond FIBA 3×3’s own channels, data sourced by the LOC from third-party partners recorded 4.28 million livestream views and 22.78 million topic views across five major local platforms, including CCTV Sports Online. 

The Project Redwings Media Team also activated 15 local creators and influencers, with a combined following of approximately 13.99 million. According to LOC data, their activity generated an estimated 136.6 million impressions.

Shanghai is set to remain home of the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Final through 2028 in partnership with Project Redwings.

Growing global platform

The growth of the Women’s Series has been accompanied by continued development of its commercial and media ecosystem.

Mitsubishi Electric joined the Women’s Series in 2026 through a four-year agreement, becoming the first Japanese company to participate as a commercial team. The partnership added another dimension to a circuit that features commercial teams alongside National Federation teams.

The 2026 season also continued the Women’s Series’ international media distribution, with live coverage available through FIBA 3×3’s official channels and  in China across multiple Shinai Sports platforms, including iQIYI and QiyiguoTV.

“The 2026 season reflects the continued development of the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series as a global competition and platform. The record calendar, growing audience and expanding network of teams, players, host cities and partners demonstrate the value the Series can create across the wider 3×3 basketball ecosystem.” – Alex Sanchez, FIBA 3×3 Managing Director

SINGAPORE – The Ulaanbaatar Amazons (MGL) will enter the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Singapore 2026 as the top seed, but they will face a deep international field with the likes of China (CHN), Australia (AUS), Thailand (THA) and Beijing (CHN) also in the hunt for the title. With 16 teams set to battle it out, Singapore is ready for another high-level stop on the Women’s Series calendar.

The Ulaanbaatar Amazons have plenty of motivation heading into Singapore. Still ranked No. 1 in the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series 2026 standings, the Mongolians have been among the teams to beat throughout the season, although a fifth-place finish at the recent FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Batam Stop 2026 left them eager to get back on the podium.

Full Seedings List:

1. Ulaanbaatar Amazons (MGL)
2. China (CHN)
3. Australia (AUS)
4. Thailand (THA)

10. Madagascar (MAD)
11. Manila (PHI)
12. Singapore (SGP)

Pool C: Australia (AUS), Mitsubishi Electric (JPN), QD A
Pool D: Thailand (THA), Beijing (CHN), QD B

Players to watch

Khulan Onolbaatar will once again be at the heart of Ulaanbaatar’s campaign. The 3×3 basketball veteran has helped drive the Amazons’ standout season so far and will look to lead the top seed back to the top of the podium in Singapore.

China arrive as the No. 2 seed and will be looking to respond after a difficult ninth-place finish at the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series CS Rapid Stop 2026. Yang Hengyu remains one of the team’s key offensive threats and will be central to China’s push for their second Women’s Series stop win of the season.

Australia, seeded third, return to Women’s Series action after winning the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Poitiers Stop 2026 back in June. Marena Whittle and company currently sit 12th in the standings, giving them another opportunity to make up ground with another deep run in Singapore.

Thailand are seeded fourth after taking third place at WS Batam. Rattiyakorn Udomsuk will look to lead the team one step further as Thailand chase their first Women’s Series stop win of the season.

Beijing are the No. 5 seed and arrive in Singapore with plenty of recent momentum. They have reached the Semi-Finals at three of their last four Women’s Series stops, but a breakthrough title has remained just out of reach. Zhang ZhiTing and her teammates will look to change that this time around.

Mitsubishi Electric (JPN), seeded sixth, will also have unfinished business. Fuyuko Takahashi and the Japanese side came close to their first Women’s Series stop win in WS Tokyo and will look to carry that momentum into Singapore.

The Netherlands U25 (NED) are seeded seventh and enter the event after a top-eight finish at WS Tokyo. Quinta van Schijndel will lead the young Dutch side as they look to take another step forward and challenge for their first Women’s Series stop win.

Mongolia (MGL) complete the seeded teams in Pool A alongside top seed Ulaanbaatar Amazons and Slovenia (SLO). Pool B features China, the Netherlands U25 and host side Singapore (SGP), while Australia and Mitsubishi Electric will await the winner of Qualifying Draw A in Pool C. Thailand and Beijing headline Pool D, with the winner of Qualifying Draw B completing the group.

The qualifying draw will feature six teams fighting for the final two places in the Main Draw. Madagascar (MAD), Lion City (SGP) and Indonesia (INA) will meet in Qualifying Draw A, while Manila (PHI), Brazil (BRA) and Vietnam (VIE) will battle it out in Qualifying Draw B.

With established Women’s Series contenders, emerging U25 talent and several teams looking to make a breakthrough all converging on one court, Singapore promises another competitive stop on the 2026 calendar. The race is on.

WARSAW (Poland) – The Philippines may not be advancing to the knockout rounds of the FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2026, but the Filipinas still left Warsaw with a piece of history.

Needing one final push after a challenging campaign, Gilas Women produced a composed performance to defeat Italy 17-13 and secure their first-ever victory at the FIBA 3×3 World Cup.

It was a breakthrough moment years in the making.

The Philippines entered the tournament still searching for their first win on the global stage after going 0-4 when they hosted the FIBA 3×3 World Cup in Manila in 2018. Their return to the competition in Warsaw brought another difficult challenge, with losses to Latvia, Germany and China leaving them with one final opportunity to make a statement.

And they took it.

The game was tight early as neither team could create much separation, but the Filipinas found their rhythm from beyond the arc midway through the contest. Camille Clarin sparked the charge with a series of long-range bombs, including a two-pointer that stretched the lead to 10-6.

Italy responded and fought back to within a point at 10-9, threatening to spoil the party. The Philippines, though, stayed composed down the stretch, making the key plays when it mattered most to close out a memorable four-point victory.

Clarin led the way with 8 points, all coming from behind the two-point arc, while veteran Afril Bernardino added 4 points and her trademark leadership.

For Bernardino, the result carried extra significance.

She was the lone remaining member of the Philippines squad that competed at the FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2018 in Manila. Eight years later, she helped guide a new generation of Filipinas to the country’s first win on 3×3 basketball’s biggest stage.

While the knockout rounds will move on without them, the Philippines leave Warsaw having achieved an important milestone in the continued growth of women’s 3×3 basketball in the country.

It may not have been the ending they dreamed of, but it was certainly a milestone worth celebrating.
