Caitlin Clark has propelled a 462% increase in WNBA regular season viewership from 2023

The “Caitlin Clark Effect” continues to amaze everyone. Since making her WNBA debut in April, expectations surrounding Caitlin Clark have been through the roof. Indiana Fever’s popularity has surged, as large crowds gather at home or away, clearly showing Clark’s charisma.

An ESPN graphic revealed that Clark significantly boosted the network’s ratings from last season. It highlighted the Indiana Fever versus Phoenix Mercury game, which averaged 1.9 million viewers and peaked at 2.7 million. This season, viewership has soared by 462% over the previous year.

Caitlin Clark’s influence on the WNBA’s rising popularity is significant, and even Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has acknowledged her role in elevating the league. Clark herself has voiced concerns about the soaring ticket prices for Fever games.

With the increased focus on her this season, teams are adapting their strategies to better compete against Clark and the Fever. She’s setting records, and if the team continues improving, they’re poised to be successful wherever they compete.
