The Atlanta Dream will officially host Games 3 and 4 of the 2026 WNBA Finals at State Farm Arena, resolving a major scheduling conflict. The league and franchise announced the venue change on Tuesday morning following heavy fan demand to move the games out of the Dream’s regular 3,500-seat home, Gateway Center Arena.

To make the transition to the 17,000+ seat venue possible, the WNBA, the Atlanta Hawks, and broadcast partners adjusted their calendars to accommodate existing arena bookings:

  • Game 3: Moved up one day to Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 8:00 PM ET to clear a conflict with a pre-booked concert.
  • Game 4: Remains on Saturday, Oct. 24, but will tip off early at 1:00 PM ET.

This sets up a massive basketball doubleheader downtown, as the Atlanta Hawks will host their regular-season home opener against the Houston Rockets later that evening at 8:30 PM ET.

Tickets for Games 3 and 4 are scheduled to go on sale to the general public this Friday, October 16, at 10:00 AM ET via the official Atlanta Dream website.
