Dream vs Valkyries: How to Watch the 2026 WNBA Finals
The Atlanta Dream face the Golden State Valkyries in the 2026 WNBA Finals, starting Saturday, Oct. 17.
Game 1 tips at 12:30 p.m. PT at Chase Center in San Francisco. It will air on NBC and stream on Peacock, according to the Golden State Valkyries.
Golden State is the No. 2 seed. Atlanta is the No. 4 seed, as listed by ESPN and the Valkyries’ gameday preview. The Valkyries hold home-court advantage after a 32-12 regular season, meaning they host Game 1 and would host a decisive Game 7 if needed.
It is a best-of-seven series, meaning the first team to four wins takes the title. The league has organised the schedule for Oct. 17 to Oct. 31 if it goes the distance, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Game 2 stays in San Francisco on Monday, Oct. 19 at 5 p.m. PT. The series then moves to Atlanta. Games 3 and 4 are set for Wednesday, Oct. 21 and Saturday, Oct. 24 at State Farm Arena.
