The 2020 WNBA season was the 13th season for the Atlanta Dream of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The season began on 26 July 2020, against the Dallas Wings.
On 18 October 2019, the Dream unveiled a rebranded logo and color scheme ahead of the new season. The team was originally scheduled to play its home games at the new Gateway Center Arena at College Park, electing to move from State Farm Arena in the 2019 off-season. The WNBA season was to have a 36-game schedule, which would have been the most games in a season in league history. However, the plan for expanded games was put on hold on 3 April 2020 , when the WNBA postponed its season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under a plan approved on 15 June 2020, the league is scheduled to hold a shortened 22-game regular season at IMG Academy, without fans in attendance, beginning on 24 July 2020.
The Dream started the season promisingly, winning two of their first three games, but then suffered a ten game losing streak. After the ten game losing streak was broken, the Dream lost their next two games to finish August with a 3–13 record, and a slim hope at making the playoffs. September proved to be a turn in fortunes for the Dream. They recorded four wins in five games to go into their final game against the Washington Mystics, with a chance to make the playoffs. However, Washington prevailed and the Dream missed the playoffs. Their overall winning percentage of .318 was the third worst in team history.
