Game 6 of the WNBA Finals attracted 1.5 million viewers, according to ratings data released Saturday. The audience figure comes after league officials faced criticism over the scheduling of the decisive contest.
The viewership number represents a significant audience for the championship series, though specific comparisons to previous games were not immediately available. The scheduling controversy stemmed from concerns about the game's start time and its placement against other major sporting events.
Further details on the ratings breakdown and the league's response to the scheduling feedback are expected in the coming days.
