Caitlin Clark keeps delivering record WNBA viewership as Fever top 1 million viewers yet again
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever continue to break WNBA television viewership records, with the team's game against the Golden State Valkyries becoming the most-watched WNBA fixture in USA Sports PR's tracking history. This underlines Clark's outsized commercial impact on the league, even as questions persist about how well the WNBA is managing her rise, including criticism over officiating standards affecting her and other players.
The Fever's 15 July game against the Valkyries averaged 1.14 million viewers, according to USA Sports PR, surpassing a previous record Clark and Indiana had themselves set. Separately, broadcaster Sage Steele argued the WNBA is mishandling its most valuable asset, pointing to persistent poor officiating and uncalled fouls against Clark as a risk to the league's rapidly growing fanbase.
