The Superteam Era?

International Talent Rising

This year, we also witness the global explosion of the WNBA. International players like Han Xu (China), Nyadiew Puoch (Australia), and Leïla Lacan (France) are gaining momentum, showing that the league is no longer just a U.S. showcase—it’s a global stage. Television viewership in Europe and Asia has soared, and the WNBA is expected to announce its first international exhibition tour later this year.

Storylines Beyond the Court

Off the court, the players are changing the game just as much.

Caitlin Clark has continued her philanthropic efforts by launching a youth sports foundation aimed at leveling the playing field for girls in underserved communities. Meanwhile, Angel Reese has partnered with a national brand to fund mental health resources for young Black athletes, stating: “We’re more than athletes—we’re role models.”
