Atlanta Dream forces Game 7 with 80-69 win over Valkyries

The Atlanta Dream defeated the Golden State Valkyries 80-69 in Game 6 of the 2026 WNBA Finals on 29 October at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, tying the series at 3-3 and creating the first-ever decisive Game 7. The game was moved to a  p. m. EDT weekday slot after the league’s schedule change, a shift the Dream’s owners said the WNBA ignored, CNN reported.

Fox News noted the teams repeatedly left the court during the national anthem following the early-afternoon timing. The Guardian confirmed the venue clash warning and the sell-out reported by Bleacher Report. In the first half the Dream built a 22-point lead, the Guardian said, and Yahoo Sports added that a surge of 13 three-pointers erased a 0-2 deficit to force the series tie.
