Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries Begin 2024 WNBA Finals SeriesPreviousNext

The 2024 WNBA Finals begin Saturday in San Francisco, featuring the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries. Both teams swept their semifinal opponents, with the Dream returning to the Finals for the first time since 2013 and the Valkyries reaching the Finals in only their second season. Golden State holds home-court advantage. The series includes scheduling adjustments due to venue conflicts, with the Dream hosting Games 3 and 4 at the larger State Farm Arena. The Valkyries have sold out all home games at Chase Center this season.
