The Atlanta Dream released the team’s 2018 season schedule Thursday afternoon.

The Dream, who went 12-22 last season, went through several changes in the offseason including firing former coach Michael Cooper and hiring first time head coach Nicki Collen.

Angel McCoughtry also announced Thursday she will return from taking a season off in 2018 along with two new veterans Renee Montgomery and Jessica Breland.

The Dream will not only open the 2018 season against the Dallas Wings on the road on May 20— which will be part of the WNBA’s #WNBAAllDay’s six-game schedule to open the season— but the Dream will also open their home season at McCamish Pavilion against the Wings on May 26.

McCamish Pavilion will host 17 games for the Dream in the 2018 season.
