## Key points

- The Finals are tied 2-2, ensuring a Game 6 in Atlanta.
- The Hawks have already booked the Dream’s preferred arena.
- The league is weighing alternative venues and schedule changes.

## Summary

The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries are tied 2-2 in the WNBA Finals, guaranteeing a sixth game in Atlanta on Thursday, 29 October. But the Dream’s preferred venue, State Farm Arena, is already booked for an Atlanta Hawks game, leaving the league to find a place for the championship match.

The Hawks are due to host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7 pm, an hour before the Finals game is scheduled to tip off. Moving the NBA game to Friday would create back-to-back fixtures for both teams and coincide with the opening night of NBA Cup group play; returning the Dream to their 3,500-seat regular-season arena would limit attendance. Other possible venues include McCamish Pavilion and the Georgia State Convocation Center. The Dream have sold out games at State Farm Arena and plan to move there full-time from 2027.
