Overview
- The league’s national schedule, released Wednesday, puts all 44 Fever regular-season games on TV or streaming across ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock, Prime Video, CBS/Paramount+, USA, ION and NBA TV.
- Indiana opens May 9 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against the Dallas Wings on ABC in a matchup featuring recent No. 1 picks, including Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd.
- After an injury-shortened 2025, Clark said this week she is 100 percent with no playing limits for 2026, and she already earned MVP honors at March’s FIBA qualifying event.
- Coach Stephanie White and Clark described a plan to ease her load by running more off-ball actions and using secondary ball-handlers such as Raven Johnson, Tyasha Harris and Kelsey Mitchell.
- Networks are leaning into the “Clark effect,” as her games topped WNBA viewership last season, a bet that could boost ad sales and sponsorships under the new 11-year, $2.2 billion media deal.
