The Atlanta Dream will host Games 3 and 4 of the WNBA Finals against the Golden State Valkyries at State Farm Arena, the league announced Tuesday. The move expands seating capacity for Atlanta’s first home Finals games since 2013.

Game 3 moves from October 22 to Wednesday, October 21, at 8 p.m. Eastern / 6 p.m. Mountain. U.S. coverage will be on USA Network and CNBC, with streaming on Peacock.

Game 4 remains Saturday, October 24, but moves to 1 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Mountain, with NBC and Peacock coverage in the United States. The Atlanta Hawks moved their home opener against Houston back half an hour to accommodate the Finals game.

The best-of-seven series begins October 17 at Chase Center in San Francisco, followed by Game 2 on October 19. Tickets for Atlanta’s two games go on sale October 16 at 10 a.m. Eastern through the Dream’s website.

The second-seeded Valkyries host the fourth-seeded Dream in the first two games of the 2–2–1–1–1 series.
