The NBA’s deputy commissioner says there is “tremendous interest” in staging a Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) game in Australia, according to reports from Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times, and The Age. The outlets say the idea is being discussed in the context of drawing major attention and attendance in the Australian market.
The reports also note that leading players could be involved as potential headliners. Caitlin Clark is cited as a possible star draw after she sold out a WNBA game in about 40 minutes. Angel Reece is also mentioned as a potential alternative headline, reflecting the attention and rivalry surrounding top WNBA performers.
While the articles focus on interest and potential match-up possibilities, they do not provide specific details such as confirmed dates, venues, or whether any official agreement has been reached. Instead, the coverage frames the proposal as a commercially and public-facing opportunity that could bring a marquee WNBA event to Australia, contingent on further planning and negotiations.
