The WNBA league has reportedly announced that the Indiana Fever, who hold the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming WNBA 2024 Draft, will have 36 of their 40 games featured by the league’s streaming partner and national broadcast, as per ESPN.
The team’s move of selecting Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark is highly-anticipated who is going to be the top-pick as per multiple reports. Clark has been considered a generational talent who also successfully broke Pete Maravich’s record and became the NCAA Division 1 all-time leading scorer.
The excellence Clark and other rising collegiate players have created has brought novel attention to the women basketball games. This is being maximized by the league and if the Indiana Fever select Clark then she will join Rookie of the Year, 2023, Aliyah Boston, who was an alumna of South Carolina.
The Commissioner of the WNBA, Cathy Engelbert, mentioned via ESPN, “With the energy and excitement already generated by what we anticipate will be a star-studded rookie class, and on the heels of a 2023 season that featured one of the greatest MVP races in WNBA history and our most-watched regular season in over two decades the WNBA’s broadcast and streaming partners are offering a huge national platform that will showcase the league’s superstars, rising stars, rivalries.”
The primary games of Fever’s regular season will come on major networks like ESPN, Prime Video, and ABC. Throughout the season, the squad’s games will be broadcast across multiple channels including ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, CBS, ION, CBS Sports Network, Prime Video, and NBA TV.
