when does caitlin clark play again

Caitlin Clark’s next scheduled games are coming up very soon, both for Team USA and then with the Indiana Fever in the WNBA 2026 season.

Quick Scoop: When does Caitlin Clark play again?

Today / Very Soon – Team USA (FIBA Qualifying)

Caitlin Clark is currently with Team USA at FIBA World Cup qualifying, and her next national team game is:

  • Thursday, March 12, 2026 – vs. Puerto Rico , following a game against Senegal on March 11.
  • This is part of the qualifying window where Team USA is tuning up ahead of the next major international cycle.

If you’re literally asking “Is she playing again after yesterday’s USA game?”, the answer is: Yes, she’s set to play again today vs. Puerto Rico.

Next Up With Indiana Fever (WNBA 2026)

Caitlin Clark’s return to WNBA regular-season action with the Indiana Fever is tied to the start of the 2026 league schedule.

Her first listed Fever game of the 2026 season:

  • Saturday, May 9, 2026 – Indiana Fever vs. Dallas Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Indianapolis).
* This opener is a huge matchup: it features recent No. 1 picks, including Clark (2024), Aliyah Boston (2023), and Dallas star Paige Bueckers (2025).

She then has a packed early-season run, for example:

  • May 13 – at Los Angeles Sparks (Crypto.com Arena).
  • May 15 – vs. Washington Mystics (Gainbridge Fieldhouse).
  • May 17 – vs. Seattle Storm (Gainbridge Fieldhouse).

These dates matter even more because Clark missed the end of the 2025 WNBA season with injury and was ruled out for the remainder of that year.

Why this is a big deal right now

  • Clark last played competitively in mid-July 2025 for the Fever before being shut down with a groin injury and later a bone bruise, which ended her 2025 season.
  • In September 2025, the Fever confirmed she would miss the rest of that WNBA season.
  • That makes both her Team USA appearances this week and the May 9 WNBA opener feel like a long-awaited full return to top-level action.

If you’re planning to watch

To actually catch these games, look for:

  1. Today’s USA vs. Puerto Rico qualifier on major sports networks that carry FIBA events or the official USA Basketball/competition streams.
  1. Fever vs. Wings on May 9 on broadcasters that hold WNBA rights in your region (in the U.S., this is usually a mix of national sports networks and WNBA League Pass).

TL;DR:

  • Caitlin Clark plays again today (March 12, 2026) vs. Puerto Rico for Team USA.
  • Her next big WNBA game is the Indiana Fever season opener vs. Dallas Wings on May 9, 2026.
