Aces-Sky tops million mark on CBS; Clark lifts NBA TV to new high

Even without Caitlin Clark and the Fever, the WNBA topped the million viewer mark yet again with a matchup of the defending champion Aces against Angel Reese and the Sky.

Sunday’s Aces-Sky WNBA regular season game averaged 1.22 million viewers on CBS, making it the most-watched WNBA game this season that did not feature or follow Clark and the Indiana Fever.

The Aces’ buzzer-beating win, which peaked with 1.65 million viewers, was the 20th WNBA game to average at least one million viewers this season — and the 21st telecast total, including the WNBA Draft. Prior to this season, the record for million viewer telecasts in a season was 15. Of those, it was only the third game that did not feature Clark and the second that did not at least air adjacent to one of her games.

Prior to this season, no WNBA game had topped the million mark since 2008.
