2025 Indiana Fever season

The 2025 Indiana Fever season was the franchise's 26th season in the WNBA and their third season under head coach, Stephanie White, who returned to the franchise where she previously coached the Fever from 2015 to 2016.

The Fever finished 6th in the 2024 regular season, making the playoffs for the first time since 2016. On October 27, 2024, the Fever announced the firing of head coach Christie Sides, after the end of the 2024 season. Then on November 1, the Fever announced White as their new head coach. During the 2025 regular season, White missed two games in June due to personal reasons during which assistant coach, Austin Kelly, served as acting head coach.

The Fever set a WNBA record for highest resale ticket prices for a preseason game with an average ticket price of $440 (before fees) for their May 4 exhibition game against Brazil at Carver–Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. However, on game day, it was reported that resale ticket prices for this game was at an average ticket price of $670, making it the highest price on record for any WNBA game since 2015. The game was the third most viewed preseason basketball game on ESPN (in both NBA and WNBA history) since 2010 with 1.3 million viewers.

In May 2025 the Indiana Fever launched Fever Direct with Endeavor Streaming to provide access to a maximum of 18 live regular season games and full game replays to fans in approved Midwest regions.

On May 18, 2025, the WNBA announced they had opened an investigation regarding "allegations of inappropriate fan conduct" directed at Chicago Sky players occurring during the Fever's May 17 home opener versus the Sky. The Sky's head coach, Tyler Marsh, told the press that he and his team did not report or witness any misconduct while at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and only learned about the allegations after the game had concluded. Nine days later, the WNBA announced their investigation was complete, and all allegations of racist fan behavior were unsubstantiated.

During 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup game play, the Fever went 4–1 in their conference. Due to their head-to-head win over the New York Liberty on June 14, the Fever advanced to the final as the representative of the Eastern conference to face the Minnesota Lynx. The two teams met on July 1 at the Target Center, where the Fever claimed the mid-season trophy (and its $500,000 prize pot), winning the game 74–59 despite their starting point guard, Caitlin Clark, being out with a groin injury. At the conclusion of the tournament, the Fever had raised a total of $23,000 for Peace Learning Center in Indianapolis.

Despite having five players with season-ending injuries, the Fever clinched a playoff spot in the postseason for the second consecutive season on September 7.
