The 2026 WNBA Finals are heading towards a historic finish, with the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries set to face off in the league’s first-ever winner-take-all Game 7, with both teams chasing their first WNBA title. The series has swung back and forth, with Golden State winning the opener, Atlanta taking Games 2 and 3, and the Valkyries responding with victories in Games 4 and 5. However, the Dream kept their hopes alive with an 80-69 win in Game 6, built around a strong start that saw them open up a 25-point lead. With the series level at 3-3, neither side has room for error.
Defence, ball security and three-point shooting could prove decisive in the final matchup. Atlanta has won all three games in which it scored at least 70 points and remains unbeaten in the playoffs when making seven or more three-pointers; the Dream also hit 13 from beyond the arc in Game 6. Turnovers have been another defining factor, with the team winning the points-off-turnovers battle taking every game in the series so far.
Golden State, meanwhile, will look to make its home-court advantage count, with home teams holding an 11-2 record in previous WNBA Finals winner-take-all games. Gabby Williams, who leads the Finals in scoring at 17.8 points per game, is a key player for the Valkyries, while Angel Reese will be central to Atlanta’s effort after recording 15 points and 14 rebounds in Game 6. Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, who combined for 44 points in that contest, will also be crucial to the Dream’s chances.
