The first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft will play against the Connecticut Sun at 7 p.m. CT, and the game will be showcased on numerous platforms: Disney+, ESPN 2, and ESPN+. Fans can watch Clark’s debut for free by using the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV, as both streaming services will broadcast the game live.
