About Atlanta
Live sports & events in Atlanta
Atlanta is one of the deepest US live sports markets and a critical hub for both professional and college athletics in the Southeast. State Farm Arena hosts the Hawks NBA and Dream WNBA in the heart of downtown. Mercedes-Benz Stadium draws Atlanta United MLS and Falcons NFL — the stadium's retractable roof and 71,000 capacity have made it one of the premier multi-sport venues in America, hosting the College Football Playoff National Championship, MLS Cup finals, and Super Bowl LIII. Truist Park anchors the Braves at the Battery Atlanta complex in Cumberland — the 2021 World Series champions draw strong crowds in one of MLB's newest and most fan-friendly ballpark developments. The Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the SEC Championship Game make Atlanta the de-facto capital of college football in the South. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets compete in the ACC across football, basketball, and baseball at Bobby Dodd Stadium and McCamish Pavilion. The Atlanta Motor Speedway in nearby Hampton hosts NASCAR events. Atlanta's deep population base and position as the economic capital of the Southeast keep year-round sports attendance strong across every franchise.

Inside Atlanta
Atlanta is the sports engine of the American South and one of the busiest pro-sports markets in the country, anchored by State Farm Arena downtown for the Hawks and the biggest events on the arena calendar, Mercedes-Benz Stadium just across the Gulch for Falcons games and Atlanta United matches, and Truist Park up in Cobb County where the Braves play from April through October. Gateway Center Arena in College Park hosts the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA in the summer, and Bobby Dodd Stadium on the Georgia Tech campus on North Avenue keeps ACC football downtown each fall.
The Peach Bowl and the SEC Championship both fill Mercedes-Benz Stadium on the Peachtree-side edge of the city, and the College Football Playoff lands there in rotation years. What makes Atlanta different is the depth of the calendar.
Few cities run five pro franchises across four major leagues plus a WNBA team, and almost no city stacks them this tightly downtown — the Hawks and Falcons play roughly a half mile apart along Centennial Olympic Park Drive, with the Braves a short drive north at The Battery. The Falcons' 2016 NFC run and the Braves' 2021 World Series title gave the city two of its loudest modern moments, and Atlanta United drew some of the highest attendance figures in MLS history during its early years at Mercedes-Benz.
Bowl season runs heavy. The Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the marquee dates of the college football year.
The SEC Championship Game fills the same building in early December. Spring brings the Braves' Truist Park home opener in late March, and the Hawks chase playoff seeding into April and May.
Whatever you came for — a Hawks game, a Falcons Sunday, a Braves night at The Battery, or a college football showdown — Atlanta has a game on most nights of the week.
What's happening in Atlanta right now
The event grid above pulls every confirmed Atlanta game currently on sale, sorted by date with the soonest at the top. Filter by team or league, or scroll the whole homestand if you want a sense of what is moving.
Each card links directly through to ticket availability so you can check seats and pricing without bouncing between sites. Atlanta runs on a sports rhythm that tilts heavily toward the weekend, especially in football season.
Weeknights belong to the Hawks at State Farm Arena from late October through April, with tip-offs usually at 7:30, and to the Braves at Truist Park across the summer with most home games at 7:20. Saturdays in the fall are college football days — Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium and the bigger neutral-site matchups at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Sundays from September through January are Falcons days at Mercedes-Benz, and Atlanta United's MLS matches fill the same building on weekend nights from late February into the fall. Summer is the peak for baseball.
From late March through September the Braves run long homestands at Truist Park, and the Atlanta Dream play at Gateway Center Arena in College Park from May into the fall. The Battery (the mixed-use district wrapped around Truist Park) is the standard pre- and post-game gathering spot, with restaurants and the fountain plaza filling before first pitch and staying busy late after a win.
The smart move on a baseball weekend is to get to The Battery early — game-day traffic on I-75 northbound builds hours before the first pitch.
Airports, transit and getting around Atlanta on matchday
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the busiest passenger hub in the world, and for almost every visiting fan it is the natural front door to a sports trip in the city. The good news is that the airport sits directly on the MARTA rail system, with a station inside the domestic terminal that runs trains north into downtown in roughly twenty minutes for a flat fare, making it the cheapest and often fastest way to reach Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, or hotels in Midtown and Buckhead.
MARTA rail is the backbone of any car-free matchday plan in Atlanta, with the Vine City and GWCC/CNN Center stations both a short walk from the football stadium and the Five Points and Peachtree Center stations close to State Farm Arena. Truist Park in Cobb County is the trickier destination, because it sits outside the MARTA rail footprint, so visitors typically use rideshare, a shuttle from a Midtown hotel, or one of the seasonal Battery-bound bus services, with traffic on I-75 the main variable to plan around.
Rideshare via Uber and Lyft works everywhere but surges aggressively after big events, and dedicated pickup zones at each venue are worth learning in advance to avoid long waits in the wrong lot. Driving yourself is feasible but parking near downtown venues fills quickly on game days, and prepaid lots through the official venue apps usually beat circling for street spots.
Atlanta traffic is famously heavy at rush hour, so allow extra buffer for weekday evening tipoffs and faceoffs. The streetcar loop is useful for a handful of downtown stops but limited in range.
For longer stays, renting a car gives you flexibility for day trips, while car-free fans should base themselves along the MARTA red or gold lines and lean on rideshare only for Truist Park visits.
Accessibility at Atlanta venues and on transit
Atlanta has invested heavily in accessibility across its major sports venues, and visitors with mobility, hearing, or visual needs will generally find a smoother experience here than in many older American cities. Mercedes-Benz Stadium, opened in 2017, was designed with accessibility front of mind and features wheelchair and companion seating distributed across every level rather than confined to a single tier, along with sensory rooms, accessible restrooms on every concourse, and assistive listening devices available at guest services.
State Farm Arena underwent a major renovation that improved sightlines from accessible seating, widened concourses, and added more accessible concession counters at a lower height. Truist Park, also new construction, offers accessible seating throughout the bowl, ADA parking in the green lot with shuttle support to the gates, and accessible routes through the Battery for fans who want to enjoy pregame without long walks.
Guest services desks at all three venues can issue elevator and shuttle passes and answer questions about specific seat locations. MARTA is fully accessible at every rail station, with elevators, tactile platform edges, and audio announcements, though it is worth checking the MARTA elevator status page before traveling because individual elevators occasionally go out of service.
Buses are low-floor and equipped with ramps. Rideshare apps offer wheelchair-accessible vehicle options in Atlanta, though wait times can be longer than standard rides, particularly after events.
Service animals are welcome at every venue. Visitors who use mobility devices should ask team ticket offices about accessible-seat purchasing pathways rather than relying on the secondary market, since the secondary market does not always flag accessibility features clearly.
Calling ahead a few days before the trip is the single most useful step for tailoring a visit to specific needs.
Where to eat before and after Atlanta games
Atlanta is one of the great American food cities, and a sports trip here is a missed opportunity if you eat only inside the stadium. The neighborhoods surrounding Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena have rebuilt their dining scenes over the last decade, with Castleberry Hill offering a cluster of bars and Southern restaurants within walking distance of kickoff, and the Centennial Olympic Park area covering casual options for families.
A short rideshare away, Old Fourth Ward and the Beltline corridor around Ponce City Market deliver a denser food-hall experience, where you can try Atlanta classics like fried chicken sandwiches, biscuit-driven brunches, and barbecue ranging from Texas brisket to Carolina pork shoulder under one roof. Buckhead and Midtown lean upscale, with steakhouses and modern Southern tasting menus that work for an anniversary trip built around a Falcons or Hawks weekend.
For Truist Park visits, the surrounding Battery development is purpose-built for pregame and postgame crowds, with brewery taprooms, sports bars, and casual chains lining the plaza so you can park once and stay through the postgame fireworks. Signature local dishes worth seeking out include shrimp and grits, peach cobbler when stone fruit is in season, lemon pepper wings that Atlanta has made its own, and the soul-food plates of meat-and-three diners scattered across town.
The craft beer scene is strong, anchored by long-standing local breweries with taprooms that fill up before kickoff. Coffee culture in Atlanta is serious, which matters for early college football tailgates.
Reservations are wise on Friday and Saturday nights during football season, especially in Buckhead and Inman Park, and walk-in seats at the most-hyped barbecue and biscuit spots often require arriving before the doors open.
Atlanta weather and what to pack for a sports trip
Atlanta sits in the humid subtropical belt of the American South, which means the calendar shapes your packing list more than almost any other US sports city. Summer baseball at Truist Park, from June through August, brings afternoon heat in the high 80s and 90s with thick humidity and the very real chance of a fast-moving thunderstorm rolling through around first pitch, so lightweight breathable layers, a compact rain shell, and a refillable water bottle are essentials.
Fall is the sweet spot for college football Saturdays at Bobby Dodd Stadium and Falcons games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with crisp mornings warming into pleasant afternoons, though tailgaters should still bring a fleece for after sunset. Winter is mild by Northern standards but deceptive, since damp 40-degree nights at outdoor events feel colder than the thermometer suggests, and the occasional ice storm can scramble travel plans for a day or two.
Spring brings pollen season in March and April, blanketing cars in a famous yellow film, which matters for visitors with allergies who should pack antihistamines and consider sunglasses for outdoor venues. Because Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena are both climate-controlled with retractable or fixed roofs, you can dress for the walk in and ignore the forecast once inside, but Truist Park is fully open-air, so check the radar before heading to Cobb County.
UV exposure is strong even on overcast days from May through September, so sunscreen belongs in any day bag for afternoon ballgames. Comfortable walking shoes matter more than style, because parking lots and transit stations often sit a healthy stroll from gates, and Atlanta hills add up over a full matchday.
Pack flexibly, dress in layers, and assume the weather will shift at least once between brunch and the final whistle.
Safety and matchday awareness in Atlanta
Atlanta is a major American city, which means standard urban awareness applies on a sports trip but most visitors who plan sensibly will have a smooth experience. The areas immediately around Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, and Truist Park are well-policed on event days, with a heavy presence of stadium staff, off-duty officers, and well-lit walking corridors to and from transit and parking, so the walk from a MARTA platform to a downtown gate is generally comfortable in a crowd.
After events, sticking with the main flow of fans toward stations or rideshare pickup zones is the simplest safety strategy, and avoiding shortcuts through poorly lit side streets or empty parking decks is the same advice that applies in any large city. Car break-ins are the most common issue visitors encounter, so leave nothing visible in a rental, including chargers and bags that look like they might hold electronics, and prefer attended garages over surface lots when possible.
MARTA rail is generally safe during event hours and the trains north and south after a downtown game are usually full of departing fans, but late-night service tapers off, so confirm the last train time if you plan to linger over dinner. Neighborhood character shifts block by block in Atlanta, and while areas like Midtown, Buckhead, and Inman Park feel busy and walkable into the evening, some pockets of the south and west sides are quieter at night and better reached by rideshare than on foot.
Trust your read of a street, share your location with travel companions, and keep one credit card and phone in a front pocket rather than a back one in any large crowd. None of this should deter a trip, but a little awareness keeps the focus on the game.
Family and kid-friendly sports in Atlanta
Atlanta is one of the most family-friendly sports cities in the country, in large part because Truist Park was designed with the modern multi-generational fan in mind. The Battery surrounding the ballpark functions like a year-round entertainment district, with a dedicated kids zone, lawn games, fountains for hot afternoons, and casual restaurants that welcome strollers, meaning a Braves game becomes an all-day outing rather than a three-hour commitment.
Inside the stadium, family seating sections, a Hope and Will mascot meet-and-greet, and shorter sightlines than older parks make first ballgame memories easy to create. State Farm Arena offers a similarly accessible experience for Hawks games and family shows, with arena concourses wide enough for strollers and concession options that go beyond standard stadium fare.
Atlanta United matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium have built a passionate supporter culture that families can absorb from the safer end-line sections away from the loudest tifo zones, and the retractable roof keeps weather concerns minimal. Beyond match days, kid-focused stops include the Georgia Aquarium, the College Football Hall of Fame downtown with interactive games, and the Center for Civil and Human Rights for older children.
Many Atlanta venues offer ear protection for free or sale at guest services, which matters for toddlers at louder events. Strollers are generally allowed but must be checked at some venues, so confirm policies before arrival.
Public restrooms include family and companion options at all three major Atlanta venues. Day-game baseball in spring and early summer is the most forgiving introduction for the youngest fans, while indoor basketball and hockey-style events fit well into shorter attention spans.
Build a slower pace into family trips, and Atlanta rewards the effort handsomely.
Tips for first-time sports visitors to Atlanta
First-time visitors planning a sports trip to Atlanta benefit from a handful of practical adjustments that locals take for granted. The first is to respect the traffic, because the metro stretches across a vast suburban footprint and rush hour on the Downtown Connector regularly turns a fifteen-minute drive into a forty-five-minute crawl, so target an early lunch reservation and arrive at the venue earlier than your instincts suggest.
The second is to lean on MARTA where you can, particularly for events at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena, and to accept that Truist Park is its own ecosystem requiring different planning. Booking accommodations near a MARTA station rather than the venue itself often gives you better prices and easier access to the wider city, and Midtown is a sweet spot for both rail access and walkable dining.
Bag policies at every major Atlanta venue follow the clear-bag standard now common across American sports, so packing a small clear tote saves time at security and keeps you out of bag-check lines. Mobile ticketing is universal across the Braves, Falcons, Hawks, United, and college venues, which means downloading the team app before you fly in and having your screen brightness ready avoids gate-line stress.
Pack for unpredictable Southern weather even on summer trips. Tipping culture is standard American, so factor it into restaurant budgets.
Atlantans are friendly and quick to give directions, but the airport-to-downtown corridor and rideshare pickup zones can be confusing on a first visit, so screenshot maps in advance in case cellular service drags inside crowded concourses. Finally, build in time for the city itself, because the Civil Rights Museum, Atlanta History Center, and the World of Coca-Cola turn a one-game trip into a richer weekend.
Browse by category
Basketball
Atlanta basketball runs through State Farm Arena downtown, the 17,000-seat home of the Hawks (NBA) from late October through April, with playoff runs into May and June. The arena sits on Centennial Olympic Park Drive and is one of the most accessible venues in the city via MARTA rail.
The Hawks have a long history in the city dating to the franchise's move from St. Louis in 1968, and their faster, high-scoring eras have produced some of the loudest nights downtown.
College basketball adds to the slate — Georgia Tech plays at McCamish Pavilion on the midtown campus, and Georgia State compets in the Sun Belt nearby. Marquee Hawks opponents and weekend tip-offs move fastest.
The event list above pulls every confirmed Atlanta basketball game currently on sale.
College football
College football is its own institution in Atlanta. Georgia Tech, an ACC program, plays at Bobby Dodd Stadium on the midtown campus on North Avenue — one of the oldest on-campus stadiums in the country still hosting major college football.
The clean, old rivalry with the University of Georgia (Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate) closes the regular season each year. Mercedes-Benz Stadium downtown hosts the marquee neutral-site dates: the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game to open the season, the Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve, and the SEC Championship Game in early December, with the College Football Playoff landing there in rotation years.
Georgia State plays at Center Parc Stadium, the converted former Turner Field. Big neutral-site games and bowls book well in advance; regular-season Georgia Tech home dates are easier walk-ups.
Soccer
Atlanta United, the city's MLS club, plays at Mercedes-Benz Stadium downtown and quickly became one of the league's biggest draws after launching in 2017, setting MLS attendance records and winning MLS Cup in 2018 in only its second season. The supporters' sections behind the goals and the pre-match march from the surrounding bars give matchdays a European-style atmosphere rare in American soccer.
The MLS season runs from late February through October, with the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs into the late fall. Rivalry matches against Orlando City (the Atlantic Cup) and other Eastern Conference clubs draw the biggest crowds.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium curtains off the upper bowl for some matches, so seating availability shifts game to game. Single-match tickets are easiest for midweek and early-season dates.
Sports games
Atlanta carries five professional teams. The Hawks (NBA) play at State Farm Arena downtown from October through April, with playoff runs into May and June.
The Falcons (NFL) play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium from September through January, and Atlanta United (MLS) shares the same building from late February through October. The Braves (MLB) play at Truist Park in The Battery, Cobb County, from late March through September.
The Atlanta Dream (WNBA) play at Gateway Center Arena in College Park from May through September. College football is its own institution here — the Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the SEC Championship game in early December both fill the stadium.
The event list above tracks every home game on sale across all five franchises plus marquee college games.
Bowls & marquee games
Atlanta's marquee-event calendar is the heaviest in the Southeast. The Peach Bowl returns to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on New Year's Eve as one of the College Football Playoff's New Year's Six bowls, and the SEC Championship Game fills the same building in early December to crown the conference.
The Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game opens the college season at Mercedes-Benz with high-profile neutral-site matchups. The College Football Playoff National Championship lands downtown in rotation years, drawing the biggest single-game crowd of the year.
The Celebration Bowl, the HBCU championship matchup, also plays at Mercedes-Benz in mid-December. On the pro side, Hawks playoff games at State Farm Arena and Atlanta United's MLS Cup Playoff dates are the spring and fall headliners.
Affordable seats
Atlanta is one of the easier major markets to catch a game without spending much. Braves weekday games at Truist Park in April, May, and September often have upper-level seats at low face value, and the team runs value promotions across the long summer homestands.
Hawks midweek games at State Farm Arena against non-marquee opponents are among the most affordable NBA tickets in the league on the resale market. Atlanta Dream tickets at Gateway Center Arena in College Park are very affordable across the WNBA summer.
Atlanta United matches against early-season or midweek opponents come down in price, and Georgia Tech football and basketball home games against smaller opponents are reliable budget options. The event list above tracks the cheapest available seats across every team.
Minor league & college
Beyond the five pro teams, Atlanta has a deep college and lower-division sports scene. Georgia Tech, an ACC member, fields football at Bobby Dodd Stadium and basketball at McCamish Pavilion on the midtown campus.
Georgia State, a Sun Belt program, plays football at Center Parc Stadium (the converted former Turner Field) and hoops at the GSU Convocation Center downtown. The metro area also hosts NCAA Tournament rounds and the occasional Final Four at State Farm Arena or Mercedes-Benz Stadium in rotation years.
Atlanta United 2, the MLS NEXT Pro side, plays the developmental schedule. College games are typically the most affordable live sports in the city, with strong walk-up availability outside of rivalry weekends and ranked matchups.
Game-day districts
Atlanta's game-day energy clusters around its venues. The Battery — the mixed-use district wrapped around Truist Park in Cobb County — is the densest, with restaurants, bars, and a fountain plaza that fill before and after every Braves home game.
Downtown, the Centennial Olympic Park corridor anchors the Hawks at State Farm Arena and the Falcons and Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with bars and restaurants along Peachtree and Marietta Street handling the pre-game crowd. Georgia Tech's North Avenue campus runs college football Saturdays in the fall.
Atlanta United's supporters gather in the bars around Mercedes-Benz before the pre-match march. For downtown games, MARTA rail is the easiest way in; for The Battery, plan on driving or rideshare since it is not on the rail line.
Top neighborhoods
Downtown / Midtown
Downtown and Midtown together hold most of Atlanta's biggest sports venues. State Farm Arena sits at Centennial Olympic Park Drive for Hawks games, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium is about a half mile west off the Gulch for Falcons games and Atlanta United matches.
Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium and McCamish Pavilion are up the hill on North Avenue for ACC football and basketball. MARTA's red and gold lines run straight up Peachtree through Five Points, Peachtree Center, Civic Center, North Avenue, Midtown, and Arts Center stations, so transit between the downtown venues is straightforward — Vine City and GWCC/Dome stations sit closest to Mercedes-Benz.
Restaurant density is heaviest along Peachtree and the side streets off Crescent Avenue.
Buckhead
Buckhead, north of Midtown along Peachtree, is the upscale dining and hotel district where many visiting fans and out-of-town teams base for a downtown game. The rooftop bars and sports bars along East Paces Ferry and Pharr Road fill on game nights with pre- and post-game crowds.
Restaurant reservations on Falcons Sundays and big Braves weekends around the Buckhead Village shops book ahead. MARTA's Buckhead Station on the red line connects straight down to the downtown arenas, so it is a common stay for fans who want to ride rail to State Farm Arena or Mercedes-Benz.
Parking is paid garage at most spots; rideshare is the easier move on event nights.
West Midtown
West Midtown, anchored by the Westside Provisions retail and restaurant complex on Howell Mill, has emerged as one of the most active dining corridors in the city and a popular pre-game base for downtown games. It sits just north and west of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, an easy rideshare to Falcons and Atlanta United matches.
Restaurants and breweries along Howell Mill and 14th Street fill before and after games, and the area's sports bars draw crowds on football Sundays. The neighborhood is car-and-rideshare friendly — no direct MARTA rail station, so plan accordingly.
Parking is mostly free in surface lots, which is rare in Atlanta, making it a convenient staging point before heading to the stadium.
East Atlanta Village
East Atlanta Village, the small commercial strip at Glenwood and Flat Shoals about three miles southeast of downtown, is a neighborhood-bar pocket that fills on game days. The dive bars and pubs along the strip — the Graveyard Tavern, Argosy, and the Midway Pub — run as neighborhood sports bars on Falcons Sundays and during Braves and Hawks games, with TVs on and trivia and DJ nights through the week.
It is a quieter, more local alternative to the venue districts, a short rideshare from both downtown arenas. The crowd skews younger and the cover, when there is one, is minimal.
It is an easy place to watch a road game when there is no home date downtown.
Edgewood District
Edgewood District runs along Edgewood Avenue from Boulevard out to the Krog Street Market, just east of downtown, and fills with fans before and after games at the nearby arenas. The strip's bars — including Edgewood Lounge, the Sound Table, and Joystick Gamebar (a bar-arcade with vintage cabinets) — draw crowds on Hawks and Falcons nights, and Krog Street Market at the eastern end runs late food after games.
It is close enough to State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium to make a natural pre- or post-game stop. MARTA's King Memorial Station on the blue and green lines is the closest rail stop, and rideshare is the standard move late.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium / The Battery
Mercedes-Benz Stadium sits on the western edge of downtown, just off the Gulch, hosting Falcons games, Atlanta United matches, and the biggest college football events in the Southeast including the Peach Bowl and SEC Championship. The retractable-roof eight-petal design lets games run rain or shine.
The Battery up in Cobb County is Truist Park's surrounding mixed-use district — restaurants, bars, and a fountain plaza that fill before and after every Braves game. The Battery is roughly twelve miles north of downtown via I-75 and the only practical way in is car or rideshare.
Game-day traffic on I-75 northbound starts heavy two hours before first pitch.
What's on by month

In deep-run postseason years, the Hawks' playoff schedule can stretch into early June at State Farm Arena. Atlanta United continues its MLS schedule at Mercedes-Benz, and the summer FIFA international windows occasionally bring marquee soccer to the stadium.
It is a quieter month downtown but a peak one for baseball.
July
The Peachtree Road Race — one of the largest 10Ks in the world — runs Independence Day morning from Buckhead to Piedmont Park with tens of thousands of runners, the city's signature participatory sports event.
