ATLANTA — It’s 2026 and that means Atlanta has a Dream, not nightmares, with dozens of games set to play.
However, the start of the season may be delayed while the WNBA’s players remain on strike over revenue negotiations in league contracts.
The Atlanta-based WNBA team released its new schedule, showing where they’re flying to and who is flying in to see them on their home court in College Park.
The first game of the season is Dream versus the Minnesota Lynx on May 10 in Minneapolis. Their first home game will see them play the Aces, from Las Vegas at the Gateway Center Arena.

In between game one and coming home to play Vegas, the Dream have a game against the Dallas Wings in Dallas.
Those three games launch the Dream’s 44-game season, which includes a series of what the team calls “high-profile” matchups including some of the league’s new teams and several traditional rivals.

As the only WNBA team in the Southeast, Dream are locked in to three headline games with the Lynx, the Wings in Atlanta and the Phoenix Mercury.
“One of the most rewarding parts of last season was the connection between our team and our fans,” Dream Head Coach Karl Smesko said in a statement. “There’s nothing like playing in front of the best fans in the WNBA, and we can’t wait to be back competing for them every night in 2026.”
