How to Watch Caitlin Clark's WNBA Debut with Indiana Fever

The newly minted Indiana Fever basketball player, who was selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, will make her professional debut on the court this May

Caitlin Clark is back in the game.

The basketball phenom, who was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA Draft, will make her debut appearance for the Indianapolis team this month.

All eyes will be on Clark, a standout athlete who shattered records while playing for the University of Iowa during the 2023-24 season, when the Fever tips off against the Dallas Wings at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

While the season hasn't officially begun, the star rookie guard — who will wear #22 on her Fever jersey, the same number she famously wore (and retired) with the Hawkeyes in college — continues to drive attention to women's basketball, transitioning interest and her fanbase from the NCAA to WNBA.

The tremendous increase in viewership in women's college basketball has largely been attributed to Clark, who made history as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women's basketball during the game that saw Iowa's 106-89 victory over Michigan on Feb. 15.

In fact, the phrase "the Caitlin Clark effect" was coined in response to her ability to captivate millions with her unmatched three-point shooting and her character on and off the court. Tickets for two Fever pre-season games have already sold out!

Forbes reported that WNBA ticket sales are up 93% compared to this time last year. StubHub spokesperson Adam Budelli described Clark's impact as “electrifying,” saying it sparked “an unprecedented 15x increase in searches for the Indiana Fever after her WNBA draft announcement.”
