What happened
The WNBA announced that all 44 of the Indiana Fever's regular-season games will be broadcast nationally this season. The slate includes airings on ABC/ESPN, USA, Prime Video, ION, NBC/Peacock, CBS, and NBA TV. This marks the first time a WNBA team has every game nationally televised.
Why it matters
The move capitalizes on the Fever's skyrocketing popularity, fueled by rookie Caitlin Clark's massive draw. It amplifies league-wide visibility and fan growth amid record viewership last season. Betting interest and sponsorships could surge with unprecedented national spotlight.
