Atlanta
Updated .
the local sports scene
Atlanta is a city of transplants, which makes its sporting support harder to predict and its one recent title more keenly felt.
The local sports scene
The scene
The Braves won the World Series in 2021 and play at Truist Park in Cobb County. Atlanta United arrived in 2017 and immediately drew the largest crowds in MLS, winning the Cup in their second season. The Falcons and Hawks share the downtown core, and Georgia Tech and Georgia State add college football to the calendar.
Rivalries that matter
Braves–Phillies and Braves–Mets are the divisional games that matter now. Atlanta United against Orlando City is the newest rivalry in the city and already one of the loudest.
Where to watch
The Battery around Truist Park is purpose-built for it. Downtown around Mercedes-Benz Stadium for football and soccer.
