The Atlanta Dream have been at the center of some of the WNBA's most significant off-court moments. In 2020, Dream players were vocal in their opposition to co-owner Kelly Loeffler's opposition to social justice initiatives — and actively campaigned against her in Georgia's Senate election, which she lost. The team was subsequently sold to new ownership including former player Renee Montgomery. The Dream play at Gateway Center Arena in College Park, a 13,000-seat venue that serves as a more intimate home court. Rhyne Howard, the 2022 Rookie of the Year and an All-Star selection, has become the franchise cornerstone and one of the most exciting young scorers in the league. Head coach Tanisha Wright, a former WNBA player, has built a competitive young roster with playoff aspirations. Atlanta's large, diverse population and basketball culture make it a prime market for WNBA growth.
The Atlanta Dream play all home games at Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The venue seats 13,000 fans and hosts WNBA games from May through September each season.
The Atlanta Dream are led by head coach Tanisha Wright, who is responsible for game strategy, player development, and roster management.
Rhyne Howard is the standout player for the Atlanta Dream in the 2026 WNBA season, driving the team's performance and fan interest at Gateway Center Arena.
The Atlanta Dream's most intense rivalries are with the Chicago Sky, Washington Mystics — matchups that consistently draw large crowds and high TV ratings.
