## Key points

- WNBA Finals Game 6 is set for Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET.
- The afternoon start follows a clash with the Hawks’ NBA fixture.
- State Farm Arena offers far more seats than the Dream’s usual court.

## Summary

The WNBA has confirmed that Game 6 of the Finals will be played at State Farm Arena at 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, making it a potential weekday title-clincher in the afternoon. The schedule reflects a clash with the Atlanta Hawks’ NBA game at the same venue.

The Hawks are due to host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 8 p.m. ET after moving their tip-off back an hour. State Farm Arena holds about 17,000 people, compared with 3,500 at the Dream’s usual venue, and Finals games have sold out; Game 6 will air on USA Network and stream on Peacock. Other options included moving the Hawks’ game, which would create a back-to-back and conflict with NBA Cup group play, or using a smaller or alternative local venue.
