Most Watched WNBA Game in History Happened Last Thursday
The phrase “everyone watches women’s sports” was evident this WNBA season, capped by Thursday’s regular-season finale between the Washington Mystics and Indiana Fever. Per Mystics PR, Thursday’s crowd set a league single-game record with 20,711 in attendance to watch Washington defeat the Fever.
The news comes on the heels of a monumental campaign for the W that broke a slew of attendance records, landed a new landmark media deal, and more than doubled viewership numbers at networks like ESPN, Ion Television, and more.
