WNBA star Caitlin Clark spent much of last season on the bench recovering from multiple injuries, but the Indiana Fever star is back in action, and we’ll get to watch her, along with fellow Fever players like Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull, and Sophie Cunningham, all season long. That’s because this year, the Indiana Fever’s entire 44-game schedule will air nationally, meaning there will be tons of opportunities to follow the Fever from their first game this Saturday through their final game of the regular season in September.
Fever games will be spread across more than 10 channels/platforms. This Saturday, May 9, you can watch them face the Dallas Wings at 1 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+. Throughout the rest of the season, you’ll be able to catch games across ABC, ESPN, NBC/Peacock, ION, CBS/Paramount+, , and more.

Here’s what you need to know about watching Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever’s complete 2026 season live, from this week’s opening game, all the way through the WNBA playoffs.
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever’s first game of the season is on Saturday, May 9, 2026. The Fever will host the Dallas Wings for a 1 p.m. ET game, airing on ABC and streaming live on Disney+.
For the 2026 season, WNBA games, including all Indiana Fever games will be spread across a wide range of channels (and streaming platforms). Games will air on ABC, ESPN (and ESPN2/ESPN+), CBS, NBC (and NBCSN), ION, USA Network, and NBA TV. Plus, some games will be exclusive to Amazon Prime Video; games that air on NBC will stream on Peacock; games on CBS will be available on Paramount+; and select games airing on ABC will stream on Disney+. Certain games will also be available only via League Pass.
Confused? Overwhelmed? Don’t have cable these days? Here’s a loose weekly schedule for which nights of the week get which channels, plus what you’ll need to watch WNBA games in 2026:
YouTube TV
YouTube TV gets you nearly every channel you'll need for the 2026 WNBA season, including ION, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and NBA TV. While the platform has announced it intends to give subscribers complimentary access to ESPN Unlimited, that integration has been delayed for the time being.
That being said, you can get a great deal on YouTube TV right now: $67.99/month for your first five months, then $82.99/month thereafter.
One thing to note: YouTube TV livestreams tend to run a slight delay, which isn't ideal if you're trying to keep up with the live game down to the exact second.
DirecTV
DirecTV's Choice tier (currently $104.98/month after fees for your first three months) gets you access to nearly every channel you need to watch sports throughout the year, especially for the WNBA: ION, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and NBA TV (plus an abundance of local RSNs). DirecTV Choice (and most other DirecTV plans) also come with free ESPN Unlimited, which gets you access to every ESPN channel, an amazing value and a must for watching tons of sports all year round.
DirecTV offers a free trial on any tier, so you can try it all out at low risk. After your free trial and new subscriber month deal on DirecTV's Choice tier, the monthly price goes up to $115/month (after fees). If you're interested in trying a live TV streaming service but aren't ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.
ESPN
ESPN's streaming platform offers thousands of exclusive live events, original studio shows, and acclaimed series that air across ESPN's suite of seven linear channels, as well as exclusive content on ESPN+, ABC on ESPN, SEC+, ACCNX, and more. Every WNBA game airing on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC this season will stream on ESPN Unlimited. The Unlimited tier costs $29.99/month or $299.99/year.
ESPN Select allows subscribers to access exclusive content only available on the app, and an extensive archive of on-demand content (including the entire 30 For 30 library, select ESPN Films, game replays, and more). Whether you purchase a standalone plan, add-on, or Disney bundle plan, the service provides access to thousands of sports events for $12.99/month or $129.99/year.
Sling
Sling TV's Day Pass gives consumers the freedom to watch what they want, when they want, without committing to a monthly streaming subscription. So if you love watching certain teams or just want to tune into the occasional playoff game, it's the ideal, cost-effective plan.
Sign up for a single day ($4.99), a weekend ($9.99), or a full week ($14.99) and watch every channel available through Sling Orange, which includes ESPN and ESPN2, and over 30 more channels. No strings attached.
Want to catch a specific sporting event on channels Sling Orange doesn't typically carry? You can customize your channel lineup with a Sports Extra add-on to get additional coverage of SEC, ACC, ESPNU, and more for just a dollar more.
Amazon
Amazon’s will once again serve as one of the streaming homes for the WNBA this season. In 2026, Prime Video will stream most Thursday night WNBA games free to all Amazon Prime subscribers.
On top of Amazon Prime Video, an Amazon Prime subscription includes free shipping, exclusive deals, Amazon Music, a year of free Grubhub+, and more. A standard Amazon Prime subscription is $15 monthly or $139 annually, but discounts are available for students and those on qualified government assistance. You can try Amazon Prime for 30 days free.
Peacock
For $11/month, an ad-supported Peacock subscription lets you stream live sports and events airing on NBC, including WNBA games. Plus, you'll get access to thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office, every Bravo show,and much more.
For $17/month, you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription, which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.
