The highly anticipated game on Aug. 30 between Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever and Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky shattered viewership records on ION Network, drawing an average of 1.60 million viewers. That marks the highest WNBA audience ever recorded on the Scripps-owned network, surpassing the previous record of 1.34 million viewers set during a July matchup between the Mercury and Fever.
Last Friday’s game peaked at 1.92 million viewers, per Chloe Peterson of the Indianapolis Star.
