Caitlin Clark will be history’s first WNBA cover athlete in NBA 2K. 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 the circuit is delivering record ratings, and Clark’s visibility plays a major role in that growth.
She tallied 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark turned down a invitation in the WNBA three‑point contest. Before the announcement, the WNBA and the players’ union raised concerns over online harassment. Her cover appearance is an unmistakable moment for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
