Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese helped launch Sky-Fever to a 23-year WNBA single-game viewership record

The Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese rivalry has officially set a stellar new record for WNBA viewership for the past few decades.

Sunday’s nationally televised game with the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky drew 2.252 million average viewers on the CBS broadcast, which the network says is the most-watched WNBA game on any network in 23 years.

Just in case there was any doubt that sports fans weren’t fully invested into Clark and Reese’s careers when they play each other, these screen-shattering viewership numbers should be proof enough that the hype is real.

The two teams will play each other again on Sunday in Chicago and then one last time for the 2024 regular season on Aug. 30. Judging by these ratings, these should be some of the biggest matchups left on the WNBA schedule.
