The WNBA announced on Tuesday that Games 3 and 4 of the 2026 Finals between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries will be held at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA.
Atlanta played 6 out of their 22 regular season home games at State Farm Arena and announced earlier in the month that they will play all of their home games there in the 2027 season.
For the upcoming Finals, the Dream’s home games (Games 3 and 4) were previously scheduled to be held at the Gateway Center Arena, which has a capacity of 3,500 compared to State Farm Arena’s 16,888. Game 6 is still scheduled for the Gateway Center.
The Valkyries will host the Dream for Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 at Chase Center in San Francisco, which can seat 18,064 basketball fans.
“To accommodate the Dream on Oct. 24, the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks have agreed to move the start time of their regular-season home opener that evening,” the WNBA said. The Hawks will host the Houston Rockets at 8:30 p.m. ET instead of 8:00 p.m. ET.
