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 point out that the circuit is soaring to record ratings, and Clark’s stature is central to the surge behind that jump.
She put up 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark declined a spot in the WNBA three‑point contest. Ahead of the reveal, the WNBA and the players’ union raised the issue of online harassment. Her cover appearance is a clear marker for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
