The Indiana Fever, led by rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, are set to dominate television screens this season, with a record-breaking 41 of their 44 games scheduled for national broadcast or streaming — the most of any WNBA franchise.
With the league expanding to a 44-game regular season, it’s no surprise that the Fever have become the WNBA’s hottest ticket. Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and one of the most electrifying players in women’s basketball history, has injected a fresh wave of excitement and viewership into the league.
Out of Indiana’s 44 regular season games, 10 will be featured on ABC and ESPN, the WNBA’s premier broadcast partners. Additionally, eight games will be aired on ION, a network rapidly becoming a staple for Friday night women’s basketball. The remaining nationally televised games will appear on other platforms like CBS Sports Network, NBA TV, Prime Video, and ESPN platforms.
This overwhelming exposure highlights the Fever’s transformation into a marquee team thanks to Clark’s arrival. Last season, all six of the WNBA’s broadcast partners — ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ION, CBS Sports Network, and NBA TV — recorded their highest-rated WNBA telecasts, and all six had one thing in common: the Indiana Fever were on the court.
The WNBA is clearly leaning into Clark’s star power and the Fever’s rising status to boost national visibility. Her long-range shooting, court vision, and fiery competitiveness have already made her a must-watch phenomenon, and her presence is expected to draw even more fans to the league.
As the 2025 WNBA season approaches, all eyes will be on Indiana. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or a new fan drawn in by the buzz, one thing is clear: Caitlin Clark and the Fever are ready for the spotlight.
