The WNBA released its television schedule on Thursday, and it comes as no surprise that the Indiana Fever will lead in national TV appearances. With Rookie of the Year and first-team All-WNBA standout Caitlin Clark at the helm, Indiana is set to feature in 41 out of its 44 games on national TV. Ten of these appearances will be on ABC/ESPN, with an additional eight on ION.
The action kicks off with an opening weekend doubleheader on May 17, starting with the Las Vegas Aces facing off against the reigning WNBA champions, the New York Liberty, at 1 p.m. ET. Following that, the Chicago Sky, led by rebounding champion Angel Reese, will take on the Fever at 3 p.m. ET. This matchup is one of five scheduled games between the two teams this season, and both games will be broadcast on ABC.
The Aces, guided by WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, are slated for 33 national TV appearances, with the Liberty not far behind at 32.
Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries, the league’s latest expansion team, will debut its season on May 16 against the Los Angeles Sparks at 10 p.m. ET on ION.
