Launch Catch-Up — Schedule Change Announced October 26, 2026

The WNBA announced Monday that Game 6 of the Finals between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream will start at 12:30 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, October 29, at State Farm Arena.

The game had been scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern. It will still air on USA Network and stream on Peacock, according to the league's announcement.

The NBA's Atlanta Hawks agreed to move their regular-season game against the Cleveland Cavaliers to 8 p.m. Eastern to accommodate the Finals game in the same arena.

The WNBA said general-public ticket sales would begin October 26 at 4 p.m. Eastern. Its announcement does not establish current ticket availability or prices.

The league cited the crowds at Finals Games 3 and 4 in Atlanta in explaining the venue choice. This is a report of the league's schedule announcement, not a result from the upcoming game.
