2020 Indiana Fever season

The 2020 Indiana Fever season was the franchise's 21st season in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The regular season tipped off on July 25, 2020, versus the Washington Mystics.

During the off-season the Fever announced that head coach Pokey Chatman would not return for the 2020 season. Chatman was replaced by Marianne Stanley. This will be Stanley's first head coaching job in the WNBA. She was previously an assistant with the Washington Mystics, Los Angeles Sparks, and New York Liberty.

Also, it was announced that the Bankers Life Fieldhouse would undergo renovations, which would force the Fever to host home games at the Hinkle Fieldhouse for the 2020 season.

This WNBA season will feature an all-time high 36 regular-season games. However, the plan for expanded games was put on hold on April 3, when the WNBA postponed its season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under a plan approved on June 15, the league is scheduled to hold a shortened 22-game regular season at IMG Academy, without fans present, starting on July 24.

The Fever started the season in a back-and-forth manner. The Fever went 2–2 in their first four games, alternating wins and losses. The season took a downward turn as the Fever lost five of their next seven games to be 4–7 at the halfway mark of the season. The second half started with a win but was marred by an eight-game losing streak. The Fever won the next to last game and lost on the final day of the season to finish 6–16. Their .273 winning percentages was the third worst in franchise history.
