The Indiana Fever are at home on Saturday afternoon as they host the Dallas Wings in their 2026 WNBA season opener.
Indiana enters Saturday's game looking to start the season off strong as they try to build off their success last season after finishing with the sixth-best record in the league despite being without Caitlyn Clark for most of the year due to injuries.
On the other side, Dallas enters Saturday's contest looking to steal a victory on the road behind their new duo of Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd as they try to turn things around after finishing with the worst record in the WNBA last season.
