The Fever have added a high-profile international showcase to their preseason slate. On Saturday, May 2, the Fever will host the Nigeria Women’s National Team (ranked No. 8 in the world) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This is a rare opportunity to see Caitlin Clark and the Fever squad face off against top-tier Olympic-level talent before the regular season begins. Tickets for this special exhibition go on sale to the general public on Monday, March 30.

New Expansion Rivals: Portland Fire & Toronto Tempo

The WNBA officially expands to 15 teams in 2026 with the addition of the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo.
