The Indiana Fever are set to be the most-watched team in the WNBA this season, with a record-setting number of nationally televised games. The league announced its 2025 national broadcast schedule on Thursday, and Indiana will appear on national television in 41 of its 44 games. This comes as no surprise, with Caitlin Clark leading the way after her standout rookie season that saw her named Rookie of the Year and earn a spot on the All-WNBA first team.
While the Aces and Liberty are still prominent with 33 and 32 national TV appearances respectively, the Fever’s record 41 appearances show just how much attention Clark and her team are drawing.
The Fever, now coached by Stephanie White, will open the 2025 season on May 17 against the Chicago Sky, a matchup that will be nationally televised on ABC as part of a high-profile doubleheader. The Fever-Sky matchup will be one of five showdowns between the teams this season, and CBS will air two of those matchups in primetime, on June 7 and August 9.
Apart from Clark, the Fever now counts with experienced veterans like DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard, and Sydney Colson. These new additions join stars such as Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Lexie Hull, forming a squad that on paper look like potential contenders.
