Caitlin Clark has added another milestone to her growing legacy, earning the cover of the NBA 2K27 Deluxe Edition.
The Indiana Fever superstar becomes the first WNBA player to appear on one of NBA 2K’s flagship global edition covers, marking another significant moment for women’s basketball and the continued growth of the WNBA.
While WNBA players have previously been featured on the franchise’s WNBA Edition—including Angel Reese, who graced the cover of NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition—Clark’s selection for the Deluxe Edition represents a different level of recognition. The Deluxe Edition is one of NBA 2K’s primary worldwide releases, giving Clark one of the franchise’s most prominent covers to date.
Since entering the WNBA, Clark has helped fuel unprecedented interest in the league. Television ratings have surged, arenas have sold out, merchandise sales have soared, and engagement across digital platforms has reached new heights. Her influence has extended well beyond the court, helping introduce millions of new fans to women’s basketball.
Clark joins an impressive group of NBA 2K27 cover athletes, with Victor Wembanyama featured on the Standard Edition and Derrick Rose appearing on the Ultra Edition.
Her appearance on the Deluxe Edition cover reflects not only her individual impact but also the growing prominence of the WNBA on the global sports stage. It is another sign that women’s basketball continues to command greater visibility alongside the NBA’s biggest stars.
