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 note that the league is hitting record ratings, and Clark’s visibility fuels much of the lift in that push.
She dropped 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark rejected a spot 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.
