Overview
- Fudd confirmed on June 19 that she will play for Project B in the upcoming offseason, saying she wants the experience of playing abroad rather than joining Unrivaled.
- Project B plans a tournament-style 5-on-5 season with six teams of 11 players competing in a multi-city circuit during the winter of 2026–27 and has announced Tokyo and Valencia as host sites.
- Host Broadcast Services is the league’s production partner and Project B says it will stream games globally, offering players equity and saying women’s pay will exceed current WNBA levels though exact salaries are not public.
- Organizers say fundraising is complete but have not disclosed totals; cofounder Grady Burnett denies Project B accepted Saudi capital and says a prior partnership with the Saudi vendor Sela is no longer active.
- The signing adds to a growing group of WNBA stars already committed to Project B and raises fresh questions about how new overseas and 3x3 offseason options will reshape player choices, pay and global marketing for women’s basketball.
