We want fans to feel even more invested in their favorite squad, more connected to their favorite player, and provide them with the opportunity to grow with us.

“When we founded the BIG3 five seasons ago, our mission was to build a league that was innovative and created opportunities for players and fans alike that other leagues lack,” said BIG3 co-founder, Jeff Kwatinetz. “We are thrilled to be lowering the barrier to entry to team ownership so our fans can take their investment to the next level. This is a tremendous step for our league and the sport as a whole, and I can’t wait to meet our new owners and begin to build this league alongside them.“
This announcement follows the recent recharge of the league’s partnership with Monster Energy after one of the most competitive seasons yet, when Stephen Jackson’s Trilogy took home the Julius Erving Championship Trophy at the 2021 BIG3 Championship Game at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, becoming the first team in league history to win two titles.
BIG3 is the official creator of the new global sport, FIREBALL3 and is returning for its fifth season this summer. Known as a ground-breaking league that focuses on innovation, the BIG3’s 2021 season saw notable new changes and experiences, including the first-ever professional open tryouts and the addition of the “Bring the Fire” rule allowing teams one challenge per half determined by an in-game one-on-one.
