After originally being scheduled to play just four contests of their 22-game road slate for the 2026 WNBA season in NBA venues, skyrocketing ticket demand to see Iowa women’s basketball legend Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever has now ballooned that number to 17.
Since the WNBA’s then-tentative schedule release in January, the Chicago Sky, Dallas Wings, Las Vegas Aces, Toronto Tempo, and, most recently, the Atlanta Dream have relocated their matchups against the Fever to NBA arenas.
Given that the Fever already play their 22 home games inside the 17,923-seat Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Fever will have 39 of their 44 regular-season games occur in NBA venues.
