One of the most anticipated matchups of the 2025 WNBA season is set to unfold on Saturday, June 7, when the Indiana Fever take on the Chicago Sky at the United Center in Chicago. This game holds added significance, as it is not only a Commissioner’s Cup fixture but also marks the first time the Chicago Sky will host a game at the famed United Center.
The game tips off at 7:00 PM Central Time and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN, bringing the spotlight once again to the league’s two most talked-about rookies—Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
