2022 Indiana Fever season
The 2022 Indiana Fever season is the franchise's 23rd season in the Women's National Basketball Association.  The regular season tips off on May 6, 2022, at the Washington Mystics.

The Fever landed the 2nd overall pick in the 2022 WNBA draft - despite having the best odds in the lottery drawing. On February 14, 2022, Tamika Catchings and the Fever parted ways as Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager. On February 24, 2022, the Fever announced that former head coach Lin Dunn would serve as interim General Manager for the year.

On May 25, after the team started 2–7, it was announced that the team had dismissed head coach Marianne Stanley.  Stanley left after two complete seasons, with an overall record of 14–49.  Carlos Knox was announced as the interim coach for the remainder of the season.  The team would finish May 3–8.  Fortunes would remain similar under Knox, as the team would lose five games in a row after winning the first game Knox coached.  They finished June 2–8, with a bright spot being a win over Chicago.  The win over Chicago would prove to be their final win of the season.  The Fever lost all eleven games they played in July and all four games they played in August to finish the season on an eighteen game losing streak.  Their .139 winning percentage was the worst in franchise history.  Their five wins, were also the lowest in franchise history.
