The WNBA scored its largest audience of the season — and top audience in 23 years — for the season’s second meeting of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Sunday’s Sky-Fever WNBA regular season game averaged 2.25 million viewers on CBS, surpassing Fever-Sun on ESPN2 Opening Night — Caitlin Clark’s debut (1.2, 2.12M) — as the most-watched WNBA game since Memorial Day 2001 (Sparks-Comets: 2.44M).

Viewership tripled Mercury-Liberty on CBS in the same window last year, which drew 694,000.

The Caitlin Clark-led Fever have now played in each of the five most-watched WNBA games since 2002, with two of those five matchups coming against Chicago.



Caitlyn Clark now has broken the viewership record on 6 different networks :whew:

WNBA players gonna need to stop hating on Caitlin if they truly wanna get paid. We get it yall work hard and it ain't fair but the league is a business.

Barkley spoke on this a couple weeks ago. Said when he was playing early on all the players would be happy as hell when someone got paid or got hot with the media because they knew it meant they would also get paid more. Said he don't understand why the WNBA players don't understand that.
