Indiana Fever Make WNBA History With 2026 TV Schedule

After a little hand-wringing and a lot of negotiating, the WNBA is back in business for the 2026 season and the feature attraction will undoubtedly be the Indiana Fever and superstar Caitlin Clark. So when will we be seeing Clark and her teammates on television again?

The answer is very soon, and very often. The Fever released their 2026 broadcast schedule, which consists of 44 games over five months, all of which will be broadcast across nine different channels or streaming platforms. Games will be aired on ABC, CBS, ESPN, ION, NBA TV, NBC, Peacock, Amazon Prime and USA Network.

The Fever season will tip off on May 9 at Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse when they take on the Dallas Wings. That game will be on ABC. The Fever's other games in May will be on a combination of USA, ION, Peacock and Prime Video before their May 30 tilt against Portland on CBS.

Here is the full schedule:

Fans are pumped

WNBA fans are excited to see Clark and the Fever back on the court, though some lamented that the games would not be centralized anymore:

"I'm so thankful all of our games are being aired but 9 different streaming services is wild 😭 Everyone wants a piece of the Fev show," one user wrote on X.

"Every. Single. Game. On. National. Television," wrote another.

"Yes, the Indiana Fever joins every NFL team as the only American franchises to have EVERY game on national television/streaming. The Caitlin Clark effect!!" a third declared.

It's a historic schedule, too

The Fever have 44 games on national TV this year. It's the most ever in WNBA history.

The 2025 season saw Indiana go 24-20 and make the playoffs despite superstar Caitlin Clark missing most of the season. However, the 2026 offseason was a mixed bag.

Indiana didn't make a ton of marquee additions and instead saw starting forward Natasha Howard leave in free agency. They spent most of their efforts simply retaining many of the starters from last year, such as Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham.

Will the Fever be able to take a leap forward in 2026?
