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 note that the circuit is soaring to record ratings, and Clark’s spotlight is driving much of it in that climb.
She dropped 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark turned down a spot in the WNBA three‑point contest. Before the announcement, the WNBA and the players’ union raised concerns over online harassment. Her cover appearance is a clear marker for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
