All 44 Indiana Fever games featuring Caitlin Clark will be nationally televised or streamed this season, the WNBA revealed Wednesday as it released its national TV schedule.

The breakdown of the Fever’s national TV slate is as follows:

  • Four games on ABC
  • Nine games on USA
  • Six games on ESPN
  • Two games on NBC
  • Eight games on Amazon Prime Video
  • Seven games on Ion
  • Four games on CBS
  • Three games on Peacock
  • One game on NBA TV

Last year, 41 of the Fever’s 44 games were on national TV or streaming networks. It was a disappointing season for Indiana as the team went 24-20 with Clark missing 31 games due to injury. 

Some interesting wrinkles in this year’s Fever schedule include an Opening Day matchup on Sunday, May 9, against the Dallas Wings, who have had the first overall picks in the last two WNBA Drafts, which they used to select former UConn teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd. Meanwhile, the two NBC games are both on Sunday nights. The first is July 12 against the defending-champion Aces, and the second is on Aug. 23 against the rival Chicago Sky. 

This season is the first of the WNBA’s new 11-year media rights deal, which has been valued at $2.2 billion.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
