The Atlanta Dream are coming back to the bright lights of State Farm Arena this year.
On Wednesday, the Dream announced that five of its regular-season home games will be played at the home of the Hawks in the 2026 season – the most games played by a WNBA team at a single alternate venue for the season.
The team stated that it has experienced “unprecedented fan demand” for some of its high-profile games, which prompted it to relocate the games from the Dream’s home court at Gateway Center Arena to State Farm Arena.
“There’s nothing like Dream basketball in Atlanta,” Dream President and COO Morgan Shaw Parker said. “Our fans bring unmatched passion and energy every night, and bringing five games to State Farm Arena allows us to share that atmosphere with even more people. It’s a powerful moment for our franchise and a reflection of how much this city continues to embrace women’s basketball.”
