Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese matchup history: How Fever and Dream stars have fared in college and WNBA games

1 hour ago 3

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese's histories have been intertwined as members of the same WNBA draft class and rivals dating back to their college days.

Now as a pair of WNBA stars, eyes continue to follow the Clark vs. Reese matchup in the pros — and after Reese opened her career with the Sky, she now leads the Atlanta Dream, adding another wrinkle to her matchups with the Fever in 2026 and beyond.

While most know about the two unforgettable meetings between Reese's LSU Tigers and Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship game (won by LSU) and the 2024 Elite Eight (won by Iowa), the two first faced off as freshmen in 2021 when Reese was still at Maryland.

After meeting once already in the 2026 season, Reese and Clark will clash once again on June 18, 2026, in Fever vs. Dream.

The second 2026 meeting marks the 12th time that Reese and Clark have gone head-to-head in the past six years, with almost half of the meetings coming in five months during the 2024 season. Here is a breakdown of how each head-to-head matchup went.

At the collegiate level, Reese's teams won the first four meetings against Clark's Hawkeyes, including LSU's win over Iowa in the 2023 NCAA Tournament title game.

Clark ended the losing streak by scoring 41 points for Iowa in the Elite Eight of the 2024 NCAA Tournament to advance to the Final Four over Reese and LSU.

When the two moved on to the WNBA, Clark continued her winning ways, with her Fever taking three of the four head-to-head meetings during their rookie season.

In addition to two classic meetings at the collegiate level, the WNBA head-to-head meetings between Clark and Reese have not disappointed. Two of the first three matchups were decided by one point, and when they were rookies, they each turned in their fair share of highlights.

During the 2025 season, the Fever and Sky played a total of five games. However, Clark only played the opener on May 17 with injuries sidelining her through parts of June and from July 16 on.

They renewed their rivalry in June 2026, this time with Reese suiting up with the Dream.
