The Atlanta Dream reaches a multiyear deal that keeps the team’s full 2027 home schedule at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Outlets report the Dream will play all 25 home games in 2027 at the 17,044-seat venue.
The move comes as the WNBA expands its regular season to 50 games, with additional home dates for Atlanta. The State Farm Arena capacity is cited as significantly larger than the Dream’s current home at Gateway Center Arena. Yahoo also notes the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority owns the arena, while the Atlanta Hawks operate it.
The sources frame the decision as tied to the franchise’s recent growth and the league’s schedule expansion. While The Athletic emphasizes the longer-term agreement and venue capacity, Yahoo adds operational context about arena ownership and operation and highlights the Dream’s increases in recent years, including growth in season ticket membership.
