Where to watch Fever vs. Wings: Channel, time, TV schedule, live stream for Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers WNBA opener

Arguably the most highly anticipated matchup of the WNBA's opening weekend, the Fever will host the Wings on Saturday.

Of course for WNBA fans, the return of star Caitlin Clark will be a spectacle all its own. The Indiana guard was sidelined much of her sophomore season with injuries, and is certainly ready for a redemption year. Of course, Clark can expect ample help from teammates like Aliyah Boston, Sophie Cunningham and Kelsey Mitchell.

The Wings have also been the talk of the league heading into the season. With back-to-back No. 1 draft picks, Dallas has reunited former UConn teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, which is sure to be an interesting dynamic. 

These two franchises already met in the preseason, with Dallas taking the win, 95-80. Who will prevail in the regular season?

Here's everything you need to know about Fever vs. Wings, including TV channel and streaming options for the WNBA opener.
