The Indiana Fever will visit the Atlanta Dream on Sunday in a nationally televised WNBA matchup with playoff-position implications. The game is scheduled for 5 p.m. Eastern at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and will air on ESPN, according to the WNBA schedule and listings from ESPN partners. Indiana enters after a 98-87 home victory over Dallas on Friday, while Atlanta’s official schedule lists Sunday’s game as its next contest. The WNBA’s game page confirms the teams’ three previous 2026 meetings: Indiana won 83-71 on June 4, while Atlanta won 108-101 on June 18 and 113-96 on June 20. Those results give Atlanta a 2-1 season-series advantage. The supplied records of 22-12 for Indiana and 21-12 for Atlanta could not be independently established from the accessible official game page before tipoff. The matchup remains significant for late-season playoff positioning, but no playoff berth is being clinched by this game itself.
