The series averaged nearly 1.9 million viewers, the most for a Finals series.
The WNBA Finals Game 7 on Halloween drew more than 3.3 million viewers, marking the highest-watched WNBA game since the league's inaugural season in 1997. The Atlanta Dream claimed their first title after just two seasons when they defeated the Phoenix Mercury in the dramatic clash. If the viewership count remains consistent, it would be the most-watched game in the league's history, surpassing the previous high of 3.3 million viewers set in 2000.
The average viewership for the seven-game series was 1.89 million, the highest ever for a WNBA Finals series. Despite several schedule changes for the Finals, the game still managed to deliver strong ratings, with Game 7 breaking all previous records.
