Back by popular demand, the Indiana Fever is relaunching its university hat promotion with a five-game slate that starts May 22 with an Iowa Hawkeyes-themed night in celebration of Caitlin Clark’s collegiate following.
The Fever recently announced the return of the unique offer, which gives fans a team-and-university co-branded hat with discounted tickets to select home games during the 2026 season. Like many other WNBA franchises, Indiana has implemented similar concepts over the past few years, the most recent being in September 2025 for the Fever’s final home game of the season.
With the specially designed headwear likely a hot commodity, here’s how fans can get the custom Iowa Hawkeyes–Indiana Fever hat:
How fans can get the Iowa, Indiana Fever hat
Fans can get the Iowa co-branded hat by purchasing tickets to Indiana’s May 22 home game against the Golden State Valkyries at go.feverbasketball.com/university. The hat is a bright gold baseball cap with the Indiana Fever logo in black on the front and the black Iowa “Tigerhawk” logo on the side.
While there was the prospect ahead of the season that Clark and the Fever could face former Hawkeye star Kate Martin in this matchup, that will unfortunately not be the case after the Valkyries cut Martin on May 7. Martin would subsequently join the Los Angeles Sparks on a Player Development Contract on May 10.
Specialty tickets featuring the Iowa hat giveaway start at a subtotal of $32.05 on the Fever’s website and are limited and subject to availability.
As with the four other co-branded hats nights, the Iowa-themed headwear is only available through this ticket promotion and will not be sold on the team’s merchandise website or throughout the in-arena store at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Fever and Valkyries will tip off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 6:30 p.m. CT, with the game nationally broadcast on ION.
