Last Friday night's WNBA showdown between Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky set an ION television ratings record with an average of 1.6 million viewers and peaked at 1.92 million viewers. It is the most-viewed game in the history of the ION network, and it beat out every college football game that aired on various networks on Friday night in ratings.
Caitlin Clark and Fever Beat NBA In Viewership
According to Sports Media Watch, the Fever have been part of four of the nine most watched games on NBA TV this year. With the team's recent contest against the Dallas Wings out rating'd every game on the channel since a playoff game between the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks in 2023.
Clark and company have captured two of the top three spots on NBA TV, with the two highest rated contests being the most recent ones.
This goes to show that even if some of the attention around CC was out of curiosity, the interest has continued to build as the season has gone along. And with the Fever playing at the level they are, viewers are being treated to an exciting show on the floor.
