During the 2023 regular season, average attendance at Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) games rose to 6,615. This not only marked a continued recovery from the dip in attendance experienced during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but exceeded the pre-pandemic figure of 6,528 recorded in 2019. Similarly, average TV viewership of the WNBA has also grown, and at an even quicker rate than live attendance, having reached around 505 thousand per game in 2023, which was over double the figures from 2016 to 2020.
