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 league is hitting record ratings, and Clark’s presence is central to the surge behind that jump.
She logged 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark rejected a berth in the WNBA three‑point contest. In the lead‑up, 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.
