History

Historical Context

In 1997 the WNBA launched with eight teams, and the inaugural game at the Great Western Forum saw the New York Liberty beat the Los Angeles Sparks 67-57 before 14,284 fans, televised nationally on NBC. That exposure paved the way for today’s Atlanta Dream, featuring Angel Reese, to enjoy multi-camera broadcasts and expanded media deals that fuel league-wide viewership and betting interest.
