INDIANAPOLIS- The Indy Fuel announced today their full 72-game schedule for the 2024–25 campaign, which is the franchise's first season at the newly built Fishers Event Center and eleventh season overall.
The Fuel will open their eleventh season at home on Friday, Dec. 6 against their Central division rivals, the Iowa Heartlanders. The regular season will close on Sunday, April 13, 2025 after their final regular season game visiting the Toledo Walleye. Indy will play 36 home games at the Fishers Event Center and visit opponents in twelve cities during their 36 games on the road.
With the late start to the home season, the Fuel will play 22 of their first 36 games on the road. That includes a stretch of 15 road games to begin the season. Following the All-Star break, the Fuel will play 22 games at home including two 3-in-3 weekends where they host five different teams, spanning two weekends in March.
