The Indiana-Chicago game is also the fourth fixture this season that’s part of the top 10 most watched in league history. All four feature the Fever, proving further that they are the most popular team in the WNBA today.

They currently sit fifth in the standings with a 25-14 record and five games left on their schedule. Indiana battles the Las Vegas Aces and Atlanta Dream for a top three seed. The good news for the team is it will play three of its remaining games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Meanwhile, the Sky have been eliminated from playoff contention with a 15-24 record. However, they have a chance to finish the campaign strong and build momentum for 2027. The last time they reached the postseason was in 2023, losing in the first round to the Aces. Chicago will return to action on Saturday when it visits the New York Liberty at Barclays Center.
