Atlanta Dream Renews Partnership with Gray Media for Local Broadcasts and Announces 2026 National Broadcast Schedule
All Locally Broadcasted Games to Air on WANF, Peachtree TV or Peachtree Sports Network
Dream Set for Expanded National Spotlight Across League’s Top Platforms
ATLANTA (April 23, 2026) – The Atlanta Dream announced that the team has renewed its local broadcast agreement with Gray Media. All games will be available to fans across national, local and select dual-broadcast windows. Games not designated for national broadcast will air locally on Atlanta News First (WANF), Peachtree TV (WPCH) or Peachtree Sports Network (PSN), extending the Dream’s reach throughout Georgia and the broader Southeast. The team also unveiled its 2026 regular season national broadcast schedule, showcasing the Dream across the league’s premier broadcast and streaming platforms.
For the first time, all local broadcasts will include a pre-game show, hosted by Atlanta News First Sports Director Baillie Burmaster, to include scouting reports, player spotlights and a look around the WNBA.
“This is a reflection of the momentum surrounding our organization, and we appreciate Gray Media’s support of the Atlanta Dream and our shared commitment to bring the WNBA to more fans in the Southeast,” said Morgan Shaw Parker, president and COO of the Dream. “The Gray Media team has invested heavily in helping us grow the game and ensuring our athletes are household names both in Atlanta and across the region. We’re proud to showcase our players, our culture and the city of Atlanta on some of the biggest stages in sports, and to connect with fans across the country throughout the season.”
“Atlanta News First, Peachtree TV and Peachtree Sports Network are proud to be the home for Dream basketball, and we’re excited to expand the coverage with a new pre-game show that adds even more context and storytelling for fans,” said Erik Schrader, of Atlanta News First (WANF) and WPCH. “This partnership is about delivering high-quality local broadcasts, widening access across the Southeast, and showcasing the WNBA the way it deserves.”
The Atlanta Dream broadcast crew returns for the 2026 season, featuring Angel Gray calling play-by-play for her sixth consecutive year, analyst Tabitha Turner marking her sixth straight season (eighth overall), and Autumn Johnson back for her sixth year as sideline reporter.
The Dream will appear in 28 nationally televised games this season, including ABC (1), CBS (3), ESPN (2), ION (7), NBA TV (1), NBC (1), Peacock (3), Prime Video (5), USA Network (5). The NBA TV broadcast will be subject to local blackout restrictions in both markets.
Atlanta’s national schedule is highlighted by marquee matchups throughout the year, including a nationally televised home contest against defending champion Las Vegas on NBC on May 17, along with multiple appearances across CBS and ESPN platforms.
The Dream will open the 2026 season on Sunday, May 10 at the Minnesota Lynx (7:00 p.m. ET), tipping off a schedule that brings Atlanta into living rooms nationwide all summer long.
