The Indiana Fever will kick off their official WNBA season on Saturday against the Chicago Sky at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Not only is the team preparing for its first official WNBA game of the season, but the Fieldhouse is also excited to welcome fans with their new look.

On Friday, sports podcast host Scott Agness posted a picture to X of the new entryway of the Fieldhouse, which now features 11 banners hanging from the top balcony, each one highlighting a different player.

The Fever concluded their 2025 preseason last Saturday with an impressive 3–0 record, showcasing their strong roster and a promising new offensive strategy under head coach Stephanie White.

On Thursday, the Indiana Fever unveiled their Opening Night roster via an Instagram post, rolling out an experienced mix of stars and role players just days before their season kicks off.

The 2025 roster has five returners from the 2024 season, including Aliyah Boston, Damiris Dantas, Lexie Hull, Kelsey Mitchell and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, Caitlin Clark. Makayla Timpson also joins the Fever roster after being selected by Indiana No. 19 overall in the 2025 WNBA draft, the only rookie on this year's team.

The Fever welcomed key players through offseason trades and free agency, including six-time WNBA All-Star DeWanna Bonner, two-time WNBA All-Star Natasha Howard, two-time WNBA Champion Sydney Colson, Brianna Turner and veteran guard Sophie Cunningham.

The Fever will start off the 2025 regular season against the Sky at 3 p.m. ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
