The Fever to make their 15th WNBA playoff appearance

INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 11, 2025) — The No. 6 Indiana Fever are set to face the No. 3 Atlanta Dream in the first round of the WNBA playoffs. The best-of-three series will begin on Sunday, Sept. 14, in Atlanta at the Gateway Center Arena, broadcast nationally on ABC with tipoff set for 3 p.m. ET.

Indiana and Atlanta will return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday, Sept. 16 for Game 2 of the best-of-three series at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Should a Game 3 be required to determine a winner, the two sides will go back to Atlanta on Thursday, Sept. 18.

The Fever enter the postseason following a 24-20 regular season record, setting new franchise benchmarks for wins in a season and total road wins (10).

To clinch their spot in the playoffs, the Dream set a new franchise record for the most wins in a season with 30 wins, doubling their total from last season, while ending the year with an 88-72 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Sept. 10.
