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 pro basketball is soaring to record ratings, and Clark’s stature is a big part in that growth.
She put up 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark declined a slot in the WNBA three‑point contest. Ahead of the reveal, the WNBA and the players’ union raised the issue of online harassment. Her cover appearance is an obvious milestone for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
