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.

What to watch: Monitor Fever season opener May 14 vs. Sun for debut viewership; track league TV ratings trends.
