Caitlin Clark's playoff debut for the Indiana Fever drew a record-breaking 1.84 million viewers, making it the most-watched WNBA playoff game since the 2000 Finals. This significant viewership surpassed that of any WNBA Finals game last year and was more than the combined viewership of the other three first-round playoff games, which had 403,000, 410,000, and 461,000 viewers respectively. The game achieved this milestone despite competing against NFL Sunday afternoon broadcasts, making it the second most-watched WNBA game in over 20 years.
