Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark said she would participate in a WNBA game played overseas if the opportunity arises.
Clark made the comments Friday night following the Fever's win over the Toronto Tempo. The remarks came after her return from the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin, where she represented Team USA.
"I wouldn’t be surprised if next year you see a game played overseas of some sort. I would sign up for that," Clark said. "It would be really good to help expand the WNBA and I’m looking forward to that."
She highlighted the pride international players bring to representing their countries and the enthusiastic crowds she encountered in Europe. Clark noted that the experience showed the WNBA has only begun to tap into global interest.
The league has discussed overseas games for years as a way to grow its audience and revenue. Clark’s endorsement adds momentum to those conversations, given her status as one of the sport’s biggest draws.
Clark recently helped Team USA secure strong results at the World Cup before returning to WNBA action. Her comments align with ongoing efforts to broaden the league’s reach beyond North America.
No specific plans or locations have been announced for an overseas contest. The WNBA regular season is set to continue with Clark and the Fever focused on their playoff push.
