Caitlin Clark

Bio

Caitlin Clark isn't British, but she's the single most-followed player in the WNBA for a UK audience discovering the league, so she gets a real page here rather than being a dead-end mention. The Indiana Fever guard became college basketball's all-time leading scorer (NCAA Division I, men's or women's, 3,951 career points) at Iowa before going 1st overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. In September 2026 she started at point guard for Team USA's gold-medal run at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, beating France 97-79 in the final.

Beginner Story

Clark grew up in Des Moines, Iowa playing pickup with her older brothers, and has spoken often about how that shaped her aggressive, long-range shooting style. She nearly chose Notre Dame before committing to Iowa, then turned the Hawkeyes into a national phenomenon, rewriting the NCAA scoring record before going 1st overall to Indiana. For a British audience new to the WNBA, her Iowa-to-WNBA story is often the entry point into following the league at all — which is exactly why it's worth having a real page for her here.
