The Indiana Fever on Thursday launched a new, direct-to-consumer service that will allow fans to tune in to more than a dozen of the team’s games throughout the 2025 regular season.
Fever Direct, a partnership between Pacers Sports & Entertainment and New York City-based Endeavor Media, will offer broadcasts of 18 games during the season—the same selection that will be broadcast locally and in 11 other markets through the team’s deal with Tegna.
The service, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, costs $29.99 annually and also features game replays and other Fever-produced content. It will also be available through the web, tablets and smart TVs.
Due to broadcast guidelines established by the WNBA, Fever Direct will be available to only a portion of the United States, including a large swath of the Midwest. However, subscribers can access the content outside of approved ZIP codes within a 30-day period if traveling domestically.
The first game of the season that will be available for subscribers will be the team’s May 20 matchup against the Atlanta Dream at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide further access and greater opportunities for our fans to experience Fever basketball,” Kelly Krauskopf, president of basketball and business operations for the Indiana Fever, said a written statement. “Whether at home or on-the-go, Fever Direct is another great option for our fans to watch our team, particularly those who have cut the cord or are looking to rewatch their favorite Fever games on replay.”
Endeavor Streaming’s platform is also used by other sports entities, including World Wrestling Entertainment, the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, the National Hockey League’s Edmonton Oilers and the University of Texas. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Pittsburgh Pirates also use the service through SportsNet Pittsburgh’s SNP 360 application. The WNBA has hosted its League Pass on the platform since 2022.
Endeavor also plans to offer business advisory services to help the team attract new fans and build its audience, according to a news release.
“Direct-to-consumer streaming represents a significant opportunity for teams like the Indiana Fever to not just serve existing fans in new ways, but to also reach new fans by offering frictionless experiences on the device of their choice,” Fred Santarpia, president of Endeavor Streaming, said in a written statement. “We’re proud to partner with them to deliver a world-class platform for their fans.”
Longtime Pacers Sports & Entertainment consultant Range Sports brokered and negotiated the deal, led by Dan Granik and David Sternberg.
Fans can see if their ZIP code is eligible at the Fever’s website.
