Game 6 of the 2026 WNBA Finals has found a home. The Dream pushed Thursday’s tipoff to 12:30 PM ET, securing Atlanta’s 17,044-seat State Farm Arena.
The venue’s previously scheduled regular-season Hawks game was also pushed back 30 minutes. The adjustment allows for both leagues to share the floor.
“We thank the NBA, Dream, Valkyries, Hawks, State Farm Arena, and USA Network for the collaboration and flexibility that made this move possible,” said outgoing WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
The compromise frees the Dream from hosting the do-or-die clash at the 3,500-capacity Gateway Center. The news comes after State Farm’s availability hit a snag.
Atlanta has officially outgrown its former College Park home. The Dream subsequently announced plans to stage all home games at the larger venue starting in 2027.
“We’re excited to give thousands more fans the opportunity to experience Game 6 with a championship on the line,” added Engelbert.
