The 2025 WNBA season is just over a month in, and the buzz around Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever shows no signs of slowing down. The Fever are 6-6 and in third place in the Eastern Conference, showing improvement after a rocky start.

When Clark is on the floor, fans are tuning in. That much is clear. Earlier this season, when she missed five games with a quad injury, league viewership noticeably dipped across several national broadcasts.

On Saturday morning, a graphic making the rounds on social media showed the 18 most-watched WNBA games since Clark entered the league.

The top 17 included Clark and the Fever.

Topping the list was the May 17 game between the Fever and the New York Liberty, which drew a record 2.7 million viewers. That broke the previous mark also set by Clark and the Fever against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in September 2024.

Rounding out the top five were two June 2024 matchups between Indiana and New York and an August 2024 game between the Fever and Seattle Storm.

The only game in the graphic that didn't include the Fever was a May 2024 game between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Las Vegas Aces. And that game followed a Fever-Liberty game as part of an ABC doubleheader.

Clark is averaging 19.9 points per game in the seven games she's played this season. She struggled in Thursday night’s loss at Golden State, finishing with 11 points and seven rebounds while shooting just 3-of-14 from the field.

Because she’s missed several games, Clark doesn’t yet qualify for the official scoring leaderboard. If she did, her 19.9 average would rank eighth in the league. Napheesa Collier leads all scorers at 24.4 points per game.
