The Indiana Fever closed their 2026 regular season at 28-16 and will begin the postseason on 2026-09-27 as the No. 6 seed, set to face the No. 3 seed — either the Golden State Valkyries or the Las Vegas Aces; the team also set several league and franchise scoring marks.
The Indiana Fever (28-16) fell to the Minnesota Lynx in their final regular-season game of 2026, and the team will begin the postseason on 2026-09-27 with opponent and further details to be determined following remaining games. Locked in at the No. 6 seed, the Fever are slated to face the No. 3 seed — either the Golden State Valkyries or the Las Vegas Aces — in the First Round, per the team release.
The release says the Fever finished the regular season as the highest-scoring offense in WNBA history at 96.0 points per game, surpassing the previous mark of 93.9 set by the Phoenix Mercury in 2010. Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark reportedly became the second pair of teammates in league history to average 20+ points per game and combined for a league-high 47.0 points per game. The Fever also recorded 20 games of 100+ points, set a franchise record with 28 wins (surpassing 24 in 2025), and posted franchise marks of 15 home wins and 13 road wins; Caitlin Clark averaged 22.3 points for the season, the release stated.
