SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream will decide the 2026 WNBA Finals at Chase Center on Saturday after Atlanta forced Game 7. For San Francisco fans, the practical details are now fixed: 5 p.m. Pacific tipoff, 3:30 p.m. doors and extra Muni service into Mission Bay.
What time is Valkyries vs. Dream Game 7?
Game 7 tips at 5 p.m. Pacific on Saturday, Oct. 31 at Chase Center. The WNBA lists the national broadcast on USA, Peacock and CNBC. The Valkyries’ Finals schedule also lists local radio on 95.7 FM and ESPN 1320 in Sacramento.
When do Chase Center doors open?
SFMTA’s Oct. 29–Nov. 4 traffic advisory says Chase Center doors open at 3:30 p.m. for Game 7. Because the arena also has a busy run of Warriors games around the weekend, fans should allow extra time in Mission Bay.
What Muni service is running for Game 7?
SFMTA says it will add 78X 16th Street Arena Express service from 16th Street BART. Pre-event 78X service starts about 2½ hours before the game and runs until one hour after tipoff; post-event express service runs from Chase Center until the crowd clears. The T Third/Central Subway and S Shuttle also serve the arena area.
Chase Center’s Valkyries guidance says a game ticket includes an all-day complimentary Muni pass. Fans using BART can transfer at Powell Street to the Central Subway or use the 78X connection at 16th Street Mission.
What about parking and tickets?
Ticket inventory and resale prices can move quickly for a deciding Finals game, so use the team or Chase Center ticketing pages for current availability. Drivers should expect special-event conditions around the arena and should check posted parking and meter rules rather than relying on ordinary Saturday assumptions.
Where to check for last-minute changes
