Indiana Fever franchise valuation has skyrocketed with Caitlin Clark
The latest effects of Caitlin Clark’s presence in Indianapolis were revealed in a new report from Sportico.
According to Sportico, since drafting Clark in 2024, the Fever’s franchise valuation has jumped from $90 million to $560 million entering the 2026 season. The Fever’s franchise valuation ranks third in the WNBA, trailing only the Golden State Valkyries ($850 million) and the New York Liberty ($600 million).

That is a 522% increase and means the Fever are worth six times as much now as compared to before they drafted Clark.
The Fever open their 2026 regular season on Saturday, May 9 from Gainbridge Fieldhouse against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings. With Clark back and healthy, the Fever’s franchise value can be expected to grow even further.
Indiana’s season opener against the Wings tips off at noon CT and will be nationally broadcast on ABC.
