Remember when we were all joking about a ripped Ben Stiller and sharing "Knicks in Five" poetry? Tickets to get into the building to see the New York Knicks face the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals were starting well over $2,000. You can see the WNBA's best face off for just over $200.
In just the franchise's second year, the Golden State Valkyries will have home-court advantage in the 2026 WNBA Finals. The Valkyries will host Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream to start the series. The WNBA Finals are a 2-2-1-1-1 series, with Golden State kicking it off at the Chase Center for Game 1 and Game 2.
The WNBA announced a change to the Finals schedule on Tuesday, with updated dates and times for the first
two games in Atlanta, Games 3&4. As we approach the start of the series, ticket prices are dropping for the WNBA Finals matchup, with the lowest get-in price starting at $213 for Game 2 at Chase Center. That's a steal for any championship event.
