How to Watch 2026 Indiana Fever Games Without Cable
The Indiana Fever make their highly anticipated return for the WNBA's 30th season and there will be many ways to tune in. Their overwhelming popularity has earned them the honor of having all 44 games nationally televised.
Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and company are must-see TV, and the numbers are there to prove it. In 2025, the Fever dominated viewership averaging 1.26 million viewers per game and they played in 9 of the top 10 most-watched games. Last year's opener saw 2.7 million viewers, and with Clark's return from injury approaching, 2026 is expected to be even bigger.
All of the Fever's games will be stretched across 10 different platforms. Their season opener against the Dallas Wings will be nationally televised on ABC. Other networks to tune in to throughout the 2026 season include ESPN, NBC, CBS, USA Network, ION and NBA TV.
No cable? No problem. This season features an expanded streaming slate providing WNBA audiences with multi-platform access. The opener against Dallas will be streamed on Disney+ as well as broadcast on ABC.
