Caitlin Clark Draws Record 3.7M GameDay Viewers

Caitlin Clark’s appearance as guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay in Iowa City helped the show reach its largest audience of the season. The episode averaged 2.9 million viewers, while the final hour featuring Clark drew 3.7 million—the third-most-watched regular-season episode in the program’s history and its most-watched October episode. The final-hour audience substantially exceeded viewership for WNBA first-round games, including the Indiana Fever’s playoff games. Clark picked Iowa to beat Ohio State, though the Hawkeyes lost, and finished the week 5-5 on her predictions.
