The 2026 WNBA Finals are one win from a champion. The Golden State Valkyries lead the Atlanta Dream 3-2 and can clinch their first title in just their second season as a franchise. Game 6 is set for Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT) at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
How to Watch Game 6 of the 2026 WNBA Finals: Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream
The tip-off was moved earlier than the original evening slot so the game could be played at the larger State Farm Arena (rather than the Dream’s smaller regular-season home) while accommodating the Atlanta Hawks’ NBA game later the same night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. A Valkyries win ends the series; an Atlanta win forces Game 7 on Saturday, October 31, at 8 p.m. ET in the Bay Area.

- Peacock is the most straightforward single-service option for the whole series.
- Confirm your local provider’s exact channels, as multi-cast options (USA, E!, Syfy) give flexibility.
- For international viewers, check local sports networks or WNBA League Pass / regional partners (e.g., Sky Sports in the UK).
Tune in Thursday afternoon—one more Valkyries win and Golden State makes history in Year 2. A Dream victory keeps the series alive for a Saturday night showdown.
