Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, October 26, 2026 —
Game 6 of the WNBA Finals is scheduled for Thursday at 12:30 p.m. EDT at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The stated scheduling reason is to allow the NBA to maintain its scheduled primetime game on the same day.
State Farm Arena is identified in the scheduling information as the home of the Atlanta Hawks. The summary does not provide the names of the WNBA Finals teams, the series score, or details about how the Thursday start time was selected beyond the need to preserve the NBA’s primetime schedule.
The NBA game’s teams, opponent, and exact start time were not provided. The information also does not say whether the WNBA game’s date or time changed from an earlier schedule, or whether the arena has made any related operational announcements. No further details about ticketing, broadcast coverage, or the expected attendance were included.
The reported arrangement places the WNBA Finals game in an afternoon window on a day when the NBA has a scheduled primetime contest. The available summary does not specify whether the two events are otherwise connected, or provide additional comments from either league or the arena. It also does not state what would happen if the schedule changes.
For now, the supplied details establish the planned time and venue for Game 6 and identify the scheduling consideration behind the start time. Further information about the matchup and the NBA’s same-day game was not provided.
