Caitlin Clark will be the first WNBA player on the NBA 2K cover. The news came out on July 22, 2026. She shares the cover with Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs and Derrick Rose. CBS and NBC highlight that the pro league is hitting record ratings, and Clark’s stature fuels much of the lift of that rise.
She logged 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark passed on a berth in the WNBA three‑point contest. Leading up to the news, the WNBA and the players’ union addressed online harassment. Her cover appearance is an obvious milestone for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
