What time is Fever vs. Mercury today? Channel, live stream, schedule to watch Caitlin Clark WNBA game

Just a week after Team USA won its eighth straight Olympic gold, basketball is back. The second half of the WNBA season is underway, and what better way to celebrate than another meeting between The Rook and The Vet?

The Fever host the Mercury in Indiana's first game in a month. The Fever have already won two games against Phoenix, but three would be a sweep of the series. Can they do it off the Olympic break?

Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner and Kahleah Copper are back from Paris, hoping to keep the winning going against the stars of the Midwest. But as one can imagine, rest may be good for Indiana and especially for Caitlin Clark, who was on her ninth straight month of basketball. Indiana's trying to stay on top, weeks away from its first playoff bid since 2016.

If the Fever can upset Phoenix for the third and final time, their chances of playing for a title only get better. It'll help Clark, too, as the Rookie of the Year race heats up.

Here's what to know to watch the Fever vs. Mercury game, including start time and TV information.
