Fubo and NBC Set to Broadcast WNBA Showdown Between Aces and Fever

A highly anticipated WNBA matchup is scheduled for Sunday night as the Las Vegas Aces host the Indiana Fever at Michelob Ultra Arena. The contest will be available for viewers on the Comcast Corporation-owned NBC network, as well as via streaming on Fubo.

The Aces are entering the game with significant momentum following a historic performance against the Phoenix Mercury. In that game, Las Vegas secured a 106-58 victory, marking the third-largest margin of victory in league history at 48 points. Star player A’ja Wilson led the charge with 21 points and 15 rebounds in just 25 minutes of play, while Chelsea Gray contributed 15 points and 12 assists.

Indiana, meanwhile, is coming off a 92-89 road victory over Phoenix on Thursday. Kelsey Mitchell delivered a clutch performance, scoring a game-high 29 points and hitting the go-ahead layup with 10.1 seconds remaining. Notably, the Fever played without Caitlin Clark, who is listed as a game-time decision for Sunday. Aliyah Boston returned to form in the previous outing with 21 points and nine rebounds.

From a statistical perspective, the game features several of the league’s top performers. Wilson currently averages 25.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks. For Indiana, Mitchell averages 22.5 points, supported by Clark’s 20.5 points and 7.9 assists per game, and Boston’s 17.3 points and 8.7 rebounds.

As the broadcast partner, Comcast continues to feature women’s basketball programming across its platforms. The company’s stock was recently trading at $23.57, reflecting a slight increase from the previous close.
