## Key points

- Game 7 averaged 3.3 million viewers.
- Clark’s Fever-Sky game edged it with 3.31 million.
- The Finals had their biggest audience since 1999.

## Summary

Game 7 of the WNBA Finals drew an average of 3.3 million viewers as the Golden State Valkyries beat the Atlanta Dream, making it the league’s largest reported post-season audience. However, it fell just short of an August Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky regular-season game featuring Caitlin Clark, which averaged 3.31 million viewers. The comparison matters because some early coverage described Game 7 and the Finals series as record-setters, while the league’s later figures do not support those claims.

The WNBA says the seven-game series averaged 1.88 million viewers, its highest Finals average since 1999, and was up 30% on 2025. Its figures combine Nielsen television measurement with digital data from Adobe Analytics, but the releases do not give separate TV and streaming totals or explain how the two measures were matched. The league calls Game 7 its most-watched game on cable; its official ranking places it second among WNBA games since the league’s 1997 opening weekend.
