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.
