The WNBA will have an expanded footprint in Milwaukee with four Chicago Sky games on local television airwaves this summer.

A new WNBA gets underway on Saturday when two budding rivals meet when Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play host to Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

The eye-popping viewership indicates the league's remarkable 2024 growth wasn't a blip but the start of the sport's explosion in popularity.

The Chicago Sky have started their 2025 WNBA season 0-1 after falling to the Indiana Fever on Saturday. It was a 93-58 blowout loss Chicago suffered, as the team will look to bounce back in Thursday's home opener against a talented New York Liberty team.

The WNBA gave the people what they wanted with Saturday's matchup between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky to open both teams' respective 2025 season. And viewers responded by watching Caitlin Clark face Angel Reese in record numbers for ABC/ESPN.
