Women's Series - Manila
USA Basketball
The United States will look to keep the momentum rolling as they head to Manila for the second stop on the 2026 FIBA 3x3 Women’s Series.
The Americans won their first title on the circuit since 2024 in Chengdu, China, last weekend after Mikaylah Williams knocked down a late jumper to secure a win over Germany in the final. The United States are seeking back-to-back stop titles for the first time since they joined the circuit in 2019.
The Competition
The United States enter Manila as the eighth seed out of the 16 teams competing. No. 1 Ulaanbaatar (MGL), No. 2 Poland and No. 3 Germany enter as the top three seeds.
The Americans start their run in Qualifying Draw A on May 6 against Warsaw (POL) at 11 p.m. ET, followed by a matchup with hosts Manila just under two hours later at 12:40 a.m. ET (May 7). If the USA advance, they will enter Pool C with Philippines and Germany, who they beat in the Chengdu final. The Americans would then face Germany at 2:30 a.m. ET and the Philippines at 6:40 a.m. ET on May 7.
If the Americans were to finish top two in the group, they would advance to the knockout stage. Those games will be played May 8 with the event wrapping up with a 7:10 a.m. ET final.
The USA
The American roster stays the same as Chengdu. Four of the top players from the collegiate ranks will represent the red, white and blue, each bringing international 3x3 experience.
Mikaylah and Sahara Williams featured on the 2025 Women’s Series 3x3 and 2025 FIBA 3x3 World Cup squads, while Joyce Edwards and MiLaysia Fulwiley competed for the United States in the 2025 FIBA 3x3 Nations League.
