WNBA TV slate focuses on Fever, likely No. 1 Caitlin Clark - ESPN

The Indiana Fever, expected to draft Iowa star Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 pick, will have peak visibility this WNBA season, with 36 of their 40 games featured by the league's national broadcast and streaming partners.

Dallas, led by scoring sensation Arike Ogunbowale, and Phoenix, where new additions such as Kahleah Copper and Natasha Cloud join star center Brittney Griner, both will be
