Caitlin Clark will be the first WNBA player on the NBA 2K cover. The news came out on July 22, 2026. She shares the cover with Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs and Derrick Rose. CBS and NBC report that women’s pro hoops is soaring to record ratings, and Clark’s spotlight fuels much of the lift in that growth.
She tallied 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark passed on a invitation in the WNBA three‑point contest. Ahead of the reveal, the WNBA and the players’ union raised concerns over online harassment. Her cover appearance is a notable milestone for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
