Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings will open 2026 preseason play against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, the teams announced on Monday.
The matchup will take place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday, April 30 at 6:00 p.m. (Broadcast information is not yet available.)
The preseason meeting between Dallas and Indiana is the first of four scheduled showdowns between the two teams in 2026. The WNBA announced the regular season schedule last week which featured a trio of matchups between the Wings and Fever, including the 2026 season opener on May 9 in Indianapolis.
Dallas will visit Indiana again on Aug. 14 before wrapping up the slate against the Fever in Texas on Aug. 20. The Aug. 20 game will be played at American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas, where Wings-Fever played in front of a sold-out crowd of over 20,000 fans last June, making franchise and WNBA attendance history.

The Wings will also host a neutral site game this spring for their second and final preseason tilt, with additional details to be provided at a later date.
Both the downtown arena and practice facility in Oak Cliff are delayed.
Readers say America should be better; worry about the millions spent to ‘buy’ Gov. Abbott; can’t believe the Wings don’t have a home yet; support libraries; and don’t agree with the death penalty.
