1 MIN AGO: WNBA Makes SHOCKING Changes After Caitlin Clark Announced Her Department! THIS IS INSANE!
WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert just announced a major change—starting in 2025, the WNBA Finals will switch to a best-of-seven series. And guess what? It’s all part of the Caitlyn Clark effect!
Caitlyn Clark has been dominating basketball, and it’s no surprise that the WNBA is making moves after her incredible rookie season. When Caitlyn and the Indiana Fever were knocked out of the playoffs, ratings didn’t just drop—they crashed. Kathy Engelbert saw the writing on the wall. Caitlyn’s impact on viewership, ticket sales, and the buzz around the league was undeniable, so the WNBA is switching things up to keep fans hooked.
Starting in 2025, the Finals will follow a 2-2-1-1-1 format, stretching the series out for maximum excitement. Even the first round will change to a 1-1-1 setup, adding more intensity. Engelbert knew that three games weren’t enough—especially in the Caitlyn Clark era. The WNBA needs more games, more drama, and more opportunities to showcase its biggest star.
But that’s not all! The regular season is expanding to 44 games. Clearly, fans want more Caitlyn Clark—and the WNBA is happy to deliver. Whether it’s her deep 40-foot shots or buzzer-beating moments, Caitlyn has turned every game into a must-watch event. The league is riding the wave of Clark Mania, and they aren’t stopping here.
The numbers don’t lie—over 54 million viewers tuned in to her key games last season. She generated more than $50 million in extra revenue, her jerseys flew off the shelves, and attendance records were shattered. Caitlyn Clark isn’t just a basketball star—she’s a game-changer. Her presence on the court has redefined what the WNBA can be.
Even after Caitlyn and the Fever were eliminated, the league felt the impact. Viewership and attendance plummeted without her. It’s clear—the WNBA without Caitlyn just isn’t the same.
By the end of 2024, it was undeniable: Caitlyn Clark didn’t just change the game—she transformed it. And this is just the beginning.
