    Caitlin Clark continues to show her insane popularity as TV viewership numbers surfaced after the Indiana Fever's matchup against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

    According to Michael Mulvihill on X, Clark and the Fever have an average of 1.184 million viewers, while the rest of the league has brought in 428,000 average viewers through all television platforms.

    Clark's name has been extremely profitable for the league, boosting viewership, ticket sales, and jersey sales throughout the WNBA. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft has helped the league earn historic numbers. This time last year, each game averaged around 301,000 viewers.

    Her arrival to the league hasn't only changed the future of the Fever. She's helped other brands around the league skyrocket, bringing millions of new eyes to women's basketball.
