The Indiana Fever are set to host the New York Liberty today, Saturday, June 14, 2025, in a highly anticipated WNBA Commissioner's Cup game. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:00 PM ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
This matchup holds significant weight as both a regular-season game and a Commissioner's Cup contest. The Commissioner's Cup is an in-season tournament within the WNBA, running from June 1 to June 17. All games played during this period count towards both regular-season standings and Commissioner's Cup standings, adding extra importance to each contest.
The New York Liberty enter the game with an unblemished 9-0 record, making them the only undefeated team in the WNBA this season. Their dominant performance has been driven by strong offensive and defensive play, leading the league in both offensive and defensive ratings, boasting a remarkable net rating of +23.4. In their most recent game, the Liberty defeated the Chicago Sky 85-66, showcasing their balanced attack led by Sabrina Ionescu's 23 points and seven assists.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever hold a 4-5 record and are looking to bounce back from a recent loss to the Atlanta Dream. The Fever will receive a significant boost with the return of Caitlin Clark, who has been sidelined for five games due to a quadriceps strain. Clark last played against the Liberty on May 24, recording 18 points and 10 assists in a narrow 90-88 defeat. Her return is expected to provide a spark for the Fever.
Where to Watch:
The game will be nationally televised on ABC and available to stream on ESPN+. Additionally, fans can find the game on Fubo. For local viewers in Indianapolis, 18 Fever games are broadcast over the air on WTHR or WALV.
Projected Starting Lineups:

Commissioner's Cup Implications:
Both teams are vying for a spot in the Commissioner's Cup championship game, which will be held on July 1. The team in each conference with the best record in Cup games advances to the championship. The Liberty currently hold a 3-0 record in Commissioner's Cup play, while the Fever are 2-1. A win for the Fever would put them in a tie with the Liberty for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
