ESPN has announced that it will broadcast the Indiana Fever’s preseason exhibition game against the Brazilian national team on May 4, 2025, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. This marks a significant moment as it will be Caitlin Clark’s first official game with the Fever in her college home arena, following her remarkable career at Iowa.
The game is set to showcase Clark alongside fellow Fever stars Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, as the team prepares for the 2025 WNBA season. The exhibition also coincides with the retirement of Clark’s No. 22 jersey by the University of Iowa, honoring her as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I history.
While some have questioned the so-called “Caitlin Clark Effect”—the notion that her presence has significantly boosted the Fever’s popularity and attendance—ESPN’s decision to air this game indicates a recognition of her impact on the sport. The broadcast will provide fans nationwide with the opportunity to witness Clark’s transition to the professional stage and the Fever’s preparations for the upcoming season.
This historic move underscores the growing prominence of women’s basketball and the increasing media attention it is receiving, thanks in part to players like Clark who continue to elevate the game.
