The WNBA is back, and this weekend offers a massive slate of games for every team in the league. Among the scheduled games is a Fever and Mercury match-up that’s not to be missed. Keep reading to learn how to watch the Phoenix Mercury vs. Indiana Fever, whether you have cable or are looking for a livestreaming alternative.
The WNBA returns this week following its Olympic break, wherein 12 of the league’s best players won the gold medal in Paris. Three of those players hail from the Mercury, including Kahleah Copper, Brittney Griner, and Diana Taurasi (who brought home her sixth gold medal this year). There were no Fever players in the Olympic lineup, leaving the team (which nabbed no. 1 draft pick Caitlin Clark this season) with plenty of time to train together.
The Mercury and Fever have played each other twice this season so far, and the Indiana team won both times. The teams have similar records in the 2024 season, with the Mercury sitting at sixth and the Fever at seventh in league rankings. Tonight’s game in Indianapolis will see whether the Fever can go for a third W or if the Mercury (who beat the Chicago Sky 85-65 last night) can pull off a win.
Below, we’ve put together everything you need to know about watching the game. Don’t forget to bookmark our WNBA streaming guide for info on future games, and check out our WNBA tickets hub for details on how to attend in person.

KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
