A record 2.45 million viewers tuned in to the 2024 WNBA draft on ESPN to witness the Indiana Fever select Caitlin Clark with the first overall pick on Monday, demolishing the previous record. Clark was apart of the superb 2024 draft class that included No. 2 pick Cameron Brink (Los Angeles Sparks), No. 3 pick Kamilla Cardoso (Chicago Sky), No. 4 pick Rickea Jackson (Sparks) and No. 7 pick Angel Reese (Sky).
According to ESPN, viewership of the 2024 WNBA Draft peaked at 3.09M.
Earlier this month, a record 18.7 million people tuned into the NCAA championship game to see Cardoso and the South Carolina Gamecocks defeat Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the most watched women's basketball game ever and the most watched basketball game period – men's or women's, pro or college – since 2019.
