Sans-Clark, Fever-Sky still among top ten WNBA games since 2001​

Despite the absence of Caitlin Clark, the Fever-Sky rivalry delivered one of ten largest regular season or playoff WNBA audiences in the past two decades on CBS Saturday night.

Saturday’s Fever-Sky WNBA regular season game averaged 1.92 million viewers on CBS, marking the eighth-largest WNBA regular season audience since 2001, and the 10th-largest including the playoffs. (Across all WNBA windows, including the All-Star Game and Draft, it ranks 12th.) Of those games, it was the second-most watched that did not include Clark, behind Game 5 of last year’s WNBA Finals.

Indiana’s blowout win — which peaked with 2.16 million viewers — delivered the third-largest audience of the WNBA season behind the teams’ meeting on ABC the opening Saturday of the season (2.70M) and Fever-Liberty on CBS the following week (2.22M). Clark has not played since that game against the Liberty due to a calf injury.

It also delivered the third-largest WNBA audience ever on CBS, which began airing games in 2020.

The game marked the first time ever that a WNBA regular season or playoff game aired in primetime on broadcast television. ABC carried the WNBA All-Star Game in primetime the past two years, averaging 3.44 million for last year’s exhibition — the largest WNBA audience of any kind since the league’s opening weekend of play in 1997

CLARK DOESNT GARNER
THE CRAZY SUPPORT FROM CACS
THE WAY SHE DID IF ANGEL
NEVER TAUNTS HER IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

It’s a mix of a couple things, history will highlight this well

I think its

-Kobe parading the women’s game after his retirement and GiGi’s potential + their untimely deaths

- Clark, Bueckers, JuJu dominance in the past few years

- The events of the 2023 National Championship

Lots of people to give credit to, regardless how people feel bout Angel she’s definitely box office

Jazzy Got Next! The Future of Women’s Basketball?

When’s the last time Nike signed a high school female hooper? :jbhmm: And she got the KD co-sign? :ehh: Is she potentially the next Juju or maybe Caitlin? :leon:

When Jazzy gets in the WNBA the real “boom” will happen

If not for that specific national title game, Clark would be slightly more popular than what Sabrina is now (more so because she did get to the title game where Sabrina didn't). I think it's fair to say Clark and Reese together boosted interest in women's basketball. That's the only reason these MAGA people started watching is because they're still mad about the title game. Reese did already have more social media followers though.
