The Golden State Valkyries won the 2026 WNBA Finals, beating the Atlanta Dream 68-63 in Game 7 in San Francisco on 31 October 2026, as wnba.com, ESPN and BBC Sport report.
History. 5 of 7: Golden State 2018, Toronto 2019, Denver 2023, Boston 2024, Oklahoma City 2025 won; Golden State 2016 and Phoenix 2021 lost after leading.
Hunch. The Atlanta Dream come into the final on a 10-game winning run, the best run the club has ever had.
The title market resolves on wnba.com when the final ends, on 31 October 2026 at the latest, with ESPN and BBC Sport as backup. YES if the Golden State Valkyries win the series, and NO if the Atlanta Dream win it.
We looked for cases where a best-of-seven final, with home games split two, two, one, one, one, had a team with home advantage that had won every game against its rival that season. We found seven, all NBA finals from 2016 to 2025, because the WNBA played its first final of this length only in 2025.
