Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has called for changes to the WNBA playoff structure, adding her voice to ongoing discussions about the league's postseason format. The All-Star point guard made the remarks amid the 2026 season, though specific details of her proposed changes were not disclosed.
Clark, wearing number 22 for the Fever, was photographed during a June 18 home game against the Atlanta Dream at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The 2024 first overall draft pick has quickly become one of the league's most prominent figures since entering the WNBA.
The WNBA currently uses an eight-team playoff bracket with best-of-three first-round series, best-of-five semifinals, and a best-of-five finals. Previous seasons have seen debate over whether the format adequately rewards regular-season performance and whether expansion of the playoff field should accompany league growth.
