The WNBA returns to the court on Thursday (August 15) after a monthlong break for the Paris Summer Olympics, hoping to build on its strong first-half ratings numbers.
The season’s first half concluded on a viewership high note, with a record 16 games generating more than 1 million viewers, besting the 15 WNBA games garnering seven-figure viewership in 1998 — a number which included regular season and postseason games, according to SportsMedia Watch.
