The Indiana Fever will make a last attempt to stay in the WNBA Playoffs in tonight’s game against the Connecticut Sun. Below, we’ve put together everything you need to know about tuning in, including how to watch the Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun, when the game tips off, and ways to tune in from anywhere.
Game 1 of the playoffs saw Connecticut come together quickly despite starting point guard Tyasha Harris’ first-quarter injury. Recent trade Marina Mabrey subbed in and put up 27 points, the most in off-the-bench WNBA Playoff history, and helped lead the team to a 93-69 victory over Indiana. The Fever, led by Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, are making their first playoff appearance since 2016. If the team loses tonight’s game in Connecticut, they’ll be eliminated from the tournament since Round 1 is the best of three games. But if they manage to pull off an upset and win, the two teams will head to Game 3, this time hosted in Indiana.
Whether you’re rooting for the Connecticut Sun or the Indiana Fever, we’ll make sure you can tune in. Make sure to bookmark our WNBA Playoffs streaming guide for info on upcoming games.

If you’ll be traveling away from the US when the game tips off, you can still keep up with your usual website and apps — like the above streaming subscriptions — from anywhere using a VPN.

We recommend giving ExpressVPN a try, since it’s beginner-friendly, easy to use, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can find additional info in our ExpressVPN review, and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN below.
