Video: Caitlin Clark's Fever Reveal Dates for Angel Reese Games, 2025 WNBA Schedule

The Indiana Fever dropped their 2025 schedule on Monday, with the campaign opening on Saturday, May 17 against the Chicago Sky.

Yes, that means Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will have the chance to renew their rivalry at the start of the 2025 WNBA season, a must-watch matchup for fans of the sport.

The Fever's 2024 season was an unqualified success.

After drafting Clark No. 1 overall, the team went 20-20 and earned the No. 6 seed in the WNBA playoffs, though they lost to the Connecticut Sun in the first round. No matter—it was the team's first playoff appearance since 2016 and the the Fever set the WNBA's home attendance record. Clark, meanwhile, was named the Rookie of the Year, an All-Star and a first-team All-WNBA selection in just her first season.

The future is bright, in other words, around the duo of Clark and Aliyah Boston, the past two Rookie of the Year winners.

There will be some changes in 2025, however. The team fired head coach Christie Sides after the season, replacing her with former Fever and Sun head coach Stephanie White, while Kelly Krauskopf is returning as president of basketball and business operations after six years with the Indiana Pacers as an assistant general manager.

The team also hired Amber Cox to serve as chief operating officer and general manager, while former GM Lin Dunn was moved into a senior advisory role.

White, in particular, is excited about working with Clark and Boston.

"You've got the point guard and the center... you have the bookends that you want to build around," she told reporters in November. "These two are the best. There's so many things they do well right now. And you saw the difference between the beginning of the season to the end of the season, and how much better they got with one another. When you think about the great point guards and post players that our game—not just our league—has seen, they are going to go down in history as the greatest. And I'm excited about the opportunity to work with them."

Expectations will be sky high for the Fever in 2025. They certainly have not been complacent thus far this offseason.
