In no small part, the footprint of the competition will soar with the arrival of Caitlin Clark, one of the collegiate circuit’s all-time greats, as she looks to lead Indiana Fever to success following her first-round draft selection.

But even with Clark’s inclusion, there’s plenty pointing towards the 2024 campaign reaching new heights, with a mid-season break for the Paris 2024 Olympics likely to further help bolster expectations and anticipation for neutrals.

That’s going to leave plenty of games for fans to catch between a dozen teams between May and September, and there’s no shortage of channels on which to catch it all unfold.
