The Toronto Tempo host the Indiana Fever on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET from Scotiabank Arena in a nationally televised WNBA regular-season game on ESPN.
This is the second meeting of the season between the expansion Tempo (10-23) and the strong Eastern Conference contenders from Indiana (23-12). The Fever dominated the first matchup on June 16, winning 113-91 behind a strong performance from Kelsey Mitchell. Toronto enters on a lengthy losing streak and will look to Marina Mabrey and the home crowd for a spark, while Indiana aims to keep its winning momentum going on the road.
