Will Golden State close out WNBA Finals? How to watch Valkyries vs. Dream Game 6

The first elimination game of the 2026 WNBA Finals is on deck. The Golden State Valkyries have a chance to close out the Finals and secure the franchise s first championship in Game 6 against the Atlanta Dream Thursday. And there s a chance Valkyries fans will be celebrating a championship victory at around noon PT on a weekday. That s because the Game 6 tipoff time was moved up so it could be played at State Farm Arena, home of the NBA s Atlanta Hawks. Games 3 and 4 were also played at State Farm Arena, which holds around 14,000 more fans than the Dream s normal home venue, Gateway Center Arena in College Park. But the Hawks have a game Thursday night that couldn t be rescheduled. The Valkyries have the Dream on the ropes after winning two straight games, turning a 2-1 series deficit into a 3-2 advantage. Golden State forced Atlanta into a combined 32 turnovers across Games 4 and 5, while Kiah Stokes and Co. limited Angel Reese to 15 total points in those contests. In
