Here's how to watch Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play the Connecticut Sun

The Indiana Fever play the Connecticut Sun at 6:30 p.m. CT Monday on ESPN2, Disney+ and ESPN+. It will mark Caitlin Clark's regular season WNBA debut.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Caitlin Clark's much anticipated WNBA debut is set for Tuesday night in Connecticut.

The No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft is coming off a record-setting college career at Iowa.

“This is what you’ve worked for and dreamed of. Now you get to put your jersey on for the first real time and go out there and play,” Clark said. “We get to play on the biggest stage, there’s gonna be a lot of people there, it’s gonna be loud. But you only play your first WNBA game once. I think I just want to enjoy it. It’s gonna be competitive. They’re really good, so you’ve got to prep the right way, too. More than anything, we’re ready for the challenge.”

Even before playing a WNBA game, Clark has left her mark in the pros. The league's draft had record viewership, and her No. 22 Indiana Fever jerseys have been flying off the shelves.

How to watch: Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun

  • Monday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT
  • TV channel, streaming options: ESPN2, Disney+ and ESPN+

Three WNBA teams have already moved their games to bigger arenas to keep up with the demand for tickets to watch her play. Her debut in Connecticut is sold out — the first sellout for the Sun in a season opener since they played their inaugural game at Mohegan Sun Arena in 2003 after moving from Orlando.

This will be the second sold-out crowd Clark will play in front of in her extremely young WNBA career. Her preseason game in Dallas was sold out, too. Over 13,000 fans also turned up for her only home preseason game.

Clark's home debut will be Thursday, when the Fever host the New York Liberty.
