US EditionIs Caitlin Clark Stepping Into Michael Jordan’s NBA on NBC Shoes?? WNBA Star’s Latest Broadcast Move Explained
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will join NBC’s Sunday Night Basketball pregame team, appearing alongside Hall of Famers for two games this season, NBC said.
- On Jan 27, 2026, NBC announced Caitlin Clark will join pregame coverage for Sunday Night Basketball's debut on Feb. 1 at Madison Square Garden.
- A key reason is Clark's resume and reach: she scored 3,951 points at Iowa, was AP Player of the Year twice, and her Xfinity marketing ties fit NBCUniversal.
- NBC said she will join a studio led by host Maria Taylor and analysts Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady for a two-night stint including a return on March 29, following her Saturday Night Live cameo and viral play-by-play moment.
- Amid a labor dispute, the WNBA and players remain in talks that could threaten the 2026 season, and it's unclear if Caitlin Clark will address this Sunday, while NBC expects her to draw strong attention, with Sam Flood saying she's `thoughtful`.
- Clark's playing status matters because she was limited to 13 games last season with the Indiana Fever, and NBC executive Sam Flood teased `hoping to have Caitlin with a basketball in her hand`.
