Atlanta Dream

The Atlanta Dream represent the Southeast in the WNBA's Eastern Conference, playing at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta alongside the Hawks. The franchise has built a passionate fanbase in a city known for its diverse sports culture and unwavering support for women's basketball. The Dream play an aggressive, up-tempo style that emphasizes transition offense and defensive intensity. Atlanta's status as a major media market and transportation hub has helped grow the team's reach across the region. The Dream continue to build toward championship contention, developing young talent while honoring their history of three Finals appearances.

Founded in 2008 as a WNBA expansion franchise, the Dream quickly established themselves as playoff contenders, reaching the Finals in 2010, 2011, and 2013 in just their first six seasons. Angel McCoughtry became the franchise's first superstar, leading Atlanta to those three consecutive Finals appearances and establishing herself as one of the league's most explosive scorers. The Dream's 2013 Finals matchup against the Minnesota Lynx represented the peak of the franchise's competitive era before a period of rebuilding. The team has endured ownership changes and roster turnover but maintains a dedicated fanbase in Atlanta. The Dream's rivalry with Eastern Conference foes like the Connecticut Sun and New York Liberty has produced memorable playoff battles.
