The WNBA’s decision to nationally broadcast every Indiana Fever game this season has sparked one of the most polarizing debates among fans.

At the center of it all is Caitlin Clark, whose presence has undeniably reshaped the league’s visibility and commercial appeal.

But while the move signals growth, it has also raised questions about balance, merit, and whether one team should dominate the spotlight.

WNBA’s decision to spotlight the Indiana Fever draws attention

The announcement, shared via Yahoo Sports, confirmed just how far the league is willing to lean into its biggest draw.

“The WNBA announced that the Indiana Fever will have all 44 of their games broadcast nationally this season.

“Games will air on ABC/ESPN, USA, Prime Video, ION, NBC/Peacock, CBS, and NBA TV,” Yahoo Sports tweeted.

That level of exposure is unprecedented, especially when compared to the rest of the league. Even other top teams fall short, with the Wings at 36 national games, the Liberty at 35, the Aces at 33, and the Sparks at 31.

The gap highlights just how significant Clark’s impact has been. The Fever are no longer just another franchise; they’ve become the league’s primary attraction, driving ratings, sponsorships, and national attention in a way few players ever have.
