How to Watch Every Indiana Fever Game in 2026: The Cheapest Path to Caitlin Clark

Three subscriptions, 47 tip-offs, and a free preseason workaround so you can try it out.

If you want to watch Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever this season, congratulations, you’ve picked the most broadcast team in WNBA history. Every single one of the Fever’s 44 regular season games will be on national television, plus three preseason matchups before the May 8 opener.

There’s a catch, of course. Those games are scattered across nine different networks and streaming services, often at different times and on different platforms. Below is the simplest, cheapest way to actually see all of them.

The Schedule Problem

The Fever set a record this season as the only WNBA team with all 44 of its regular-season games scheduled for national broadcast. The downside is that “national” doesn’t mean “one channel.” The schedule breaks down like this:

Add the three preseason games on April 25, April 30, and May 2, and you have 47 total tip-offs across roughly five months.

Why You Can’t Avoid a Live TV Bundle

USA Network is the largest single chunk of the schedule and the toughest to acquire on the cheap. There is no $10-a-month standalone version of it. Peacock no longer carries USA’s live feed, despite both being owned by NBCUniversal. To get USA Network, you need a live TV streaming bundle like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling Blue, or DirecTV Stream.

Once you accept that reality, the math gets simple.

The Cheapest Realistic Plan: 3 Subscriptions

1. YouTube TV: covers 33 of the 44 games

YouTube TV’s standard plan picks up ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, USA Network, NBA TV, and ION all in one bill. Regular price is $82.99 per month, but new subscribers can currently get a $68/month rate for the first three months.

This single subscription handles three-quarters of the Fever’s schedule and most of their marquee matchups, including the May 9 opener against the Dallas Wings on ABC and the July 12 Sunday Night Basketball showdown against the defending-champion Las Vegas Aces.

2. Peacock Premium: covers 3 games

The “Peacock Mondays” exclusives don’t air anywhere else. Peacock with ads is $10.99/month, and the no-ad tier is $13.99. For three games over a five-month season, the ad-supported plan is plenty.

3. Prime Video: covers 8 games

Amazon’s Thursday-night WNBA package includes eight Fever games this season. If you already have Amazon Prime ($14.99/month), Prime Video is included at no extra cost. If you don’t, the standalone Prime Video plan is $8.99/month.

That’s it. Three subscriptions, every game covered.

What It Actually Costs

For the regular season, May 8 through September 24, roughly five months:

• YouTube TV with new-subscriber promo: ~$330
• Peacock Premium: ~$55
• Prime Video: $0 if you already have Prime; ~$45 if not

Add roughly $100/month if you continue through the playoffs in October. The 2026 WNBA Finals will air on NBC and USA Network, with every Finals game also streaming on Peacock. So, the same three subscriptions carry you through the championship.

The Preseason Is Basically Free

Sign up at WNBA.com or in the WNBA app and you can stream all three Fever preseason games at no cost:

• April 25 – at New York Liberty (also on ION)
• April 30 – vs. Dallas Wings (also on ION)
• May 2 – vs. Nigeria Women’s National Team

That last one matters especially. The Nigeria game is otherwise only available on a local Indianapolis broadcast station and would be inaccessible to anyone outside that market without League Pass.

Alternatives Worth Considering

Already have Amazon Prime?

Skip the standalone Prime Video sub. Effective season cost drops to about $375.

The antenna route

A $25-50 one-time antenna purchase can pull in ABC, NBC, CBS, and ION over the air in most markets. That’s 17 of 44 games for a one-time cost. You’d still need subscriptions for USA Network, ESPN, Peacock, Prime Video, and NBA TV, but the antenna can shave 10–15% off the season total in metro areas with strong signal. In rural areas, behind terrain, or far from a metro broadcast tower, reception is unreliable enough that many cord-cutters give up and pay for a streaming bundle anyway. Check the FCC’s DTV reception map for a station-by-station signal estimate at your address before you buy.

Hulu + Live TV

$82.99/month, priced similarly to YouTube TV and includes a Disney+ and ESPN Unlimited bundle, but it does not carry NBA TV, meaning you’d miss one Fever game. For that single game, you could fall back on NBA League Pass ($16.99/month), but that erases any savings.

Sling Orange + Sling Blue

$65.99 combined gets you USA Network, ESPN, and NBC in select markets, but no CBS or ABC. You’d still need an antenna or supplemental service for the four ABC games and four CBS games, and the math usually ends up worse than YouTube TV once you fill the gaps.

ESPN Unlimited standalone

$29.99/month is overkill if all you want is six Fever games, but it’s worth knowing about if you also follow college football, the NFL, or other ESPN-heavy leagues.

A Note for Viewers in U.S. Territories

Service availability varies significantly outside the 50 states. YouTube TV is available in Puerto Rico but not in Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or the Northern Mariana Islands. Hulu + Live TV is generally limited to the 50 states. Peacock and Prime Video work in most U.S. territories, though specific game availability can vary by rights agreement.

If you live in a territory where the major live TV bundles aren’t available, WNBA League Pass ($39.99/year) is the most reliable single option. It doesn’t stream nationally televised games live. Those are blacked out and become available the next morning. But for a fan in a territory with limited streaming options, it remains the broadest single product.

Three logins, one season, one of the most watched players in basketball. The bundle math is annoying, but it’s not actually that expensive once you stop fighting it.

Prices and channel lineups are accurate as of April 24, 2026, and may change during the season. Promotional rates apply to new subscribers only on most platforms. Check each provider directly before committing.
