Indiana Fever schedule: key second-half games to watch
The Indiana Fever schedule gets tougher after the All-Star break, with 17 games left and one of the WNBA's hardest remaining slates. Key dates include Minnesota on Aug. 2, Sept. 22 and 24, Las Vegas on Aug. 6, Dallas on Aug. 14 and 20, and New York on Aug. 11 and 22.
Key Takeaways
- Indiana sits 17-10 as the No. 5 seed and leads the WNBA in scoring offense after winning eight of its last 11.
- Among current top-eight teams, only Minnesota faces a tougher remaining schedule than Indiana's .527 opponent win percentage.
- Must-watch dates: Lynx three times (Aug. 2, Sept. 22–24), Aces Aug. 6, Wings Aug. 14 and 20, Liberty Aug. 11 and 22.
- Eight of 17 remaining games are against top-six teams, and 11 of 17 are on the road.
Why does the Indiana Fever schedule matter now?
The Fever entered the second half sitting fifth in the overall standings at 17-10. Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston headline a group that leads the league in scoring, yet the path ahead is steep.
According to Sports Illustrated, Indiana's remaining opponents have a .527 winning percentage—second-hardest among the current top eight, behind only Minnesota (.555). Eight of the final 17 games are against top-six teams. Fans tracking markets and slate alerts can also follow related coverage in our Fintech & Crypto Alerts hub.
Home form has been stronger (10-5) than road form (7-5), but 65% of remaining games are away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. That mix raises the stakes for every seeded matchup.
Which Indiana Fever schedule games are must-watch?
Minnesota tops the list. The Fever have yet to face the top-seeded Lynx. They visit Minnesota on Aug. 2, then close the regular season with games on Sept. 22 in Indiana and Sept. 24 in Minnesota. Expect high-scoring affairs: the Lynx rank second in offense behind Indiana. Watch Clark versus rookie Olivia Miles, Aliyah Boston versus Napheesa Collier, and Natasha Howard facing her former club.
Las Vegas comes next on Aug. 6. Indiana is undefeated against the third-place Aces in 2026 and crushed them 109-75 behind Mitchell's 27 points. A 3-0 season series could help playoff seeding.
Dallas follows on Aug. 14 in Indianapolis and Aug. 20 in Dallas. The Wings won the 2026 opener; rematches double as a litmus test and another Clark–Paige Bueckers showcase. New York is tied 1-1 with Indiana, with games Aug. 11 at home and Aug. 22 in New York after Mitchell's 33-point night in a 108-88 July 18 win.
Can Indiana climb despite a brutal stretch?
SI notes Stephanie White's teams typically improve late, and Indiana entered the break on a three-game win streak while taking five of its past six. Sweeping lesser foes in the nine non-top-six games is essential if the Fever want a better seed.
Slip-ups against New York could let the Liberty (15-12) climb past them. Dallas (18-9) sits ahead, so those August dates also matter for standing gains. The second half of the Indiana Fever schedule will decide how much runway Clark, Mitchell and Boston get when the playoffs begin.
