The Golden State Valkyries can win the WNBA Finals for the first time today, as they face the Atlanta Dream in Game 6. The Valkyries, playing in just their second season, lead the series 3-2. Today's game was moved to the daytime to accommodate State Farm Arena, which hosts an Atlanta Hawks NBA game tonight.

Week of Oct. 26, 2026: The NBA’s opening week delivered a stretcher for Jalen Williams, a 52-point night from Luka Doncic and an 0-3 start for the defending champion Knicks. Here are the five stories that matter this week, from OKC’s next move to Ty Jerome’s scoring tear and the NBA’s push into Europe.

Game 6 of the WNBA Finals between the Valkyries and Atlanta Dream tips off at 12:30 p.m. EDT, or 9:30 a.m. PDT, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The Valkyries are one win away from their first championship, but fans on the West Coast will have to squeeze a potential title celebration into the middle of a workday.

All NBA games presented by NBC Sports will stream live on Peacock and all Peacock-exclusive games on Monday nights will also be presented on NBCSN. Telemundo, NBCUniversal’s Spanish-language broadcast network, will present 10 Sunday Night Basketball games as well as the NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 21, 2027.

The New York Knicks are looking for their first win of the season when the Orlando Magic visit Madison Square Garden tonight, Oct. 25.

Atlanta Dream owners say the WNBA ignored early warnings about State Farm Arena scheduling conflicts, forcing a midday Thursday tip-off for Game 6 of the Finals.
