Partnering with local HBCU Clark Atlanta, the CAU University Band and Atlanta Drum Academy, the Dream’s 20-game home schedule release is LIVE.
The WNBA unveiled the highly anticipated 2024 schedule recently, with the Atlanta Dream set to begin their 2024 season on May 15th.
The Dream will start their 17th season beginning with a two-game West Coast road trip starting in Los Angeles and finishing with Phoenix on May 18th.
Atlanta’s home opener at Gateway Arena will take place on May 21st against the Dallas Wings.In 2023, the Dream led the league with 12 sellouts, a testament to Atlanta fans creating an atmosphere unlike any other in the WNBA, or in the city of Atlanta.
The Dream will face the WNBA Champion Las Vegas Aces for a primetime showdown at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 31st, and will face the winner of the 2023 Commissioners Cup and last year’s championship runner-up the New York Liberty on June 6th at Gateway Center Arena.
This year is a unique one as the 2024 WNBA season will pause for the Olympic Games in Paris from July 26th to August 11th. Prior to the hiatus, the Dream will take on the Minnesota Lynx in Minneapolis on July 17th. Immediately following the break, the Dream will host a 5-game home stand starting with the Seattle Storm on August 16th.
In their third year together leading the Dream, Head Coach Tanisha Wright and EVP and General Manager Daniel Padover share a singular vision to bring a WNBA Championship to Atlanta.
“We can’t wait for the upcoming 2024 season to get another chance to play in front of these great fans in Atlanta,” said Wright. “While our team made great strides last season, we look forward to another exciting year with our young core as we take the necessary steps forward in becoming a championship contender. Our goal is to ensure they bring that same level of Playoff intensity to the regular season.”
Following the Dream’s 2023 postseason berth, their first in five years, the team’s young core led by Rhyne Howard is poised to take the next step in their pursuit of championship contention.
Last year Dream had their best season in five years, finishing fifth and returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Atlanta made franchise history in 2023 as the trio of Howard, Allisha Gray and Cheyenne Parker proudly represented the Dream at the All-Star game in Las Vegas — an incredible achievement signaling the team’s ascent under new ownership.
