Arguably, one of the most famous faces in sports already is Caitlin Clark. ESPN will, therefore, handle the former Iowa star’s WNBA regular-season debut like the historic occasion that it is. The network just revealed exciting details about how it wants to cover Clark’s first game with the Indiana Fever, with the 2024 WNBA season swiftly approaching on May 14.
“ESPN will use a WNBA Finals-level production setup for Indiana’s first game to document Clark’s debut,” stated a press release.
The Worldwide Leader is going to use “multiple camera angles, including Below/Above the Rim Cams, roving handheld cameras + player mics.” They will also have massive pregame, halftime, and postgame coverage hosted by LaChina Robinson.
The match starts at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes and will stream on both ESPN+ and Disney+. Ryan Ruocco, Rebecca Lobo, and Holly Rowe—the elite WNBA broadcast crew on ESPN—will be taking calls.
During opening week, one of Caitlin Clark’s games will also be available on Prime Video. The Liberty-Fever game, which will be Clark’s home debut, will be aired by the streaming behemoth on Thursday, May 16, starting at 7 p.m. ET. Renee Montgomery will serve as the analyst and host on Prime, which will be broadcast live and in-person from Indiana.
