Indiana Fever to host Washington Mystics in WNBA clash
The Fever face the Mystics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday, 15 May 2026, following a narrow season-opening defeat to the Dallas Wings.
The Indiana Fever are set to host the Washington Mystics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday, 15 May 2026, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The fixture marks the second game of the WNBA season for the Indiana franchise, following a 107-105 loss to the Dallas Wings in their season opener.
The opening match against Dallas was notable for Indiana guard Caitlin Clark, who scored her 1,000th career WNBA point. The milestone is particularly significant given that Clark sat out most of the previous season before returning to reach the mark in her second season. The Fever will look to secure their first victory of the campaign when they take on the Mystics.
The game will be broadcast on ION and is available via WNBA League Pass. For viewers seeking alternative streaming options, the match is accessible through DirecTV, YouTube TV, and Tubi. These platforms provide coverage of the ION channel, which is airing the live contest.
