Caitlin Clark's Future WNBA Team Gets More National TV Games than the Two-Time Defending Champs
Let’s get it back to the WNBA with this:
The WNBA announced its broadcast and streaming schedule.
The Indiana Fever will be featured by WNBA national broadcast and streaming partners 36 times. The Las Vegas Aces (2x defending champs) will be featured 35 times.
LV and NYL will both be on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 8 times each

That, my friends, is the Caitlin Clark effect.
No, she has not even been drafted yet, but she is a slam dunk #1 overall pick for the pitiful Fever, who don’t have Tamika Catchings and Lin Dunn to carry their sorry asses in 2024. Therefore, the folks in charge of the television schedule gave Indiana more national slots than the Aces, who have won two-straight titles under Becky Hammon and feature a roster that includes 2x MVP A’Ja Wilson.
What’s also funny is that the Aces moved their 2024 game against the Fever to a bigger arena:
The Las Vegas Aces are moving their matchup against the Indiana Fever and potential No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark this upcoming season to T-Mobile Arena to accommodate 8K more seats.

Caitlin Clark. The biggest WNBA star and she hasn’t played a game yet.
