The 2019 WNBA season was the 12th season for the Atlanta Dream of the Women's National Basketball Association. The team began its season on May 24, 2019, against the Dallas Wings and concluded the season on September 8 against the New York Liberty.[1]

On December 13, 2018, the Atlanta Dream announced that they would return to State Farm Arena, formerly Philips Arena, after playing the previous two seasons at Georgia Tech's McCamish Pavilion while State Farm Arena underwent a $192.5 million renovation.[2]

The Dream endured a season without star Angel McCoughtry, who missed time with a knee ligament injury sustained in 2018. The Dream started slowly only winning 2 games of their first ten. Early July brought some hope to the team, with the Dream winning three of four games between July 5 and July 12. However, the streak would not continue as the Dream lost twelve games in a row from July 14 to August 20. The Dream won three of their last 7 games to finish with an 8–26 record, last in the WNBA. It was the Dream's second worst season in franchise history. For the first time in franchise history, the Dream did not have a player selected to the All-Star Game.
