Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups, stats

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky visit Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever for each team's 2025 WNBA regular season opener.

Clark, the top pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, led the Fever to a 20-20 record and a playoff berth, where they were eliminated in the first round. The team brought in DeWanna Bonner, Sophie Cunningham, Brianna Turner, and Natasha Howard to support Clark and third-year forward Aliyah Boston.

Chicago went 13-27 in Reese's rookie year. In the offseason, they added guard depth with veterans Courtney Vandersloot and Ariel Atkins, plus rookies Hailey Van Lith and Kia Nurse. Those players should be able to complement the frontcourt duo of Reese and 6-foot-7 second-year center Kamilla Cardoso.
