First held in 1997, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) Draft is an annual pre-season event through which teams in the league select new recruits from a pool of college and professional women's basketball players. The 2024 WNBA Draft was shown on ESPN's main network for the fifth time in a row and attracted a record high viewership of 2.45 million viewers. The main attraction for that year's Draft was college basketball superstar Caitlin Clark, who as the No.1 overall pick was selected by the Indiana Fever.
