Caitlin Clark is one of the most influential athletes in sports in the United States, and is ultimately the gold mine of the WNBA, after revealing this detail about the Indiana Fever player who continues to be a phenomenon.
After playing what was her first season, she is now approaching a second one where she will be treated like the star she is, driving ticket sales and league exposure nationally through television.
Caitlin Clark surpasses LeBron James’ broadcasts.
The WNBA has released the television schedule for the 2025 season, and to the surprise of many (or not so many), the 2024 Rookie of the Year will be exposed on national television across 44 games, three more than LeBron James and Luka Doncic will have with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The amount earned by the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark is a new league record. No other team has ever added as many games as they have heading into 2025.

The big challenge will be that these commitments will be distributed through different channels:
- 5 games on ABC
- 5 games on ESPN
- 8 games on ION
- 6 games on Prime video
- 3 games on CBS
- 4 games on CBS Sports Network
To mark your calendar, the Indiana Fever’s regular season kicks off on May 17 and will conclude on September 9.
And there’s a very good reason why the team, along with the popular Caitlin Clark, will get more TV time: games featuring the WNBA star averaged up to 1.2 million viewers, tripling the audience of any other league event nationwide that did not feature Clark.
