Atlanta Dream reports sellout for Game 6 despite weekday afternoon slot

The Atlanta Dream announced that tickets for Game 6 of the 2026 WNBA Finals were sold out, even though the match was shifted to a weekday afternoon at State Farm Arena, according to Bleacher Report. The game, scheduled for  p. m. EDT against the Golden State Valkyries, drew a full house despite the late-notice schedule change.

Earlier, the Dream’s owners said the league had ignored their early warnings about a venue clash, a complaint reported by CNN. The Guardian noted that the team had repeatedly raised concerns that the midday slot would create a conflict with other events at the arena. Fox News added that both the Dream and the Valkyries had left the court during the national anthem in previous finals games, a detail that received limited attention amid the scheduling controversy.
