(Indianapolis, IN) – The Indiana Fever have released their 2026 WNBA schedule, and the season will open at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, May 9, with a high-profile matchup against the Dallas Wings.
The opener is expected to feature several of the league’s most recent top overall draft selections, including Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark for Indiana, along with Paige Bueckers for Dallas. The Wings are also projected to hold the No. 1 pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft, which could add another top selection to the matchup, pending draft results.
Boston was the top overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, while Clark followed as the No. 1 selection in 2024. Bueckers entered the league as the first overall pick in 2025 and is expected to be a centerpiece for Dallas heading into the 2026 season.

Indiana is coming off a season of heightened national attention and increased attendance, fueled by the arrival of Clark and continued development from Boston.
