Summary
Caitlin Clark said she would “sign up” for a WNBA game overseas after returning from Berlin, where she helped the United States win the Women’s World Cup.
Clark said her first extended time playing in Europe showed how strong the sport’s following is there, adding that an overseas game could help expand the WNBA globally.
No Europe game has been announced for next season, but Clark said she would not be surprised to see one after the league already staged its first regular-season game outside the U.S. in Vancouver in 2025.
51 foreign-born players appeared during the opening week of the 2026 season — a WNBA record — and 70 current and former WNBA players later made World Cup rosters.
The push fits a league already expanding to 15 teams this season, with Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia set to join from 2028 to 2030.
