Let’s not sugarcoat this — The Indiana Fever are making history in 2025, and there’s one name behind it all: Caitlin Clark.
No player has ever changed the trajectory of women’s basketball like Caitlin Clark. Her rookie season didn’t just break records — it transformed the entire league. From sold-out arenas to sky-high TV ratings, she became the most talked-about player in the WNBA. This article breaks down the Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever 2025 WNBA schedule, and what her massive exposure means for the game.
🗣️ THE MEDIA SNUB AND THE POLITICS OF SPORT
Despite her groundbreaking popularity, ESPN left Caitlin Clark off their list of the WNBA’s top five players. That’s not just baffling — it’s offensive.
It reflects how racial bias still clings to the women’s basketball circuit. While Caitlin is fighting for equal pay, honoring the legends who came before her, and uniting fans like never before, the mainstream media continues to stir division. Instead of celebrating her transformative influence, they’re diminishing it — and politicizing it.
Here at JustPlainSport, we say it like it is: woke politics don’t belong in sport. The fans want competition, greatness, and authenticity — and that’s exactly what Caitlin Clark delivers.
📺 FEVER TO HEADLINE MOST NATIONAL TV GAMES IN WNBA HISTORY
On March 20, 2025, the WNBA released its full national television schedule. Unsurprisingly, the Indiana Fever are front and center — featured in 41 of their 44 games on national broadcast. That’s the most in league history.
This moment isn’t just about airtime. It’s about impact. For the first time, the Fever will appear on nearly every major network:
• ABC – 5 games
• ESPN – 5 games
• ION – 8 games
• Prime Video – 6 games
• CBS – 3 games
• CBS Sports Network – 4 games
• NBA TV – 10 games
As a result, only three of Indiana’s games won’t be nationally televised — a stat that’s unheard of in WNBA history.
⏰ UPDATED TIP-OFF TIMES
Alongside the schedule, the league confirmed revised start times for four games:
• May 17 vs. Chicago – now 3:00 PM ET
• August 3 at Seattle – now 3:00 PM ET
• August 12 vs. Dallas – now 7:30 PM ET
• August 17 at Connecticut – now 1:00 PM ET
Additionally, the Fever’s local TV schedule will be released soon. Fans outside Indiana can also stream select games via WNBA League Pass, which offers live and on-demand coverage through the WNBA app and website (subject to blackouts).
