| What Sports Teams Are In Atlanta |
The Big Four (and then some)
Atlanta boasts a formidable lineup of professional sports teams, covering the major bases (pun intended). Let’s break it down:
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
The Atlanta Falcons: These gridiron gladiators compete in the NFL. Known for their high-flying offense and heartbreaking losses (we're looking at you, Super Bowl LI), the Falcons have a dedicated fanbase that sticks through thick and thin. Or, as they like to say, "Rise Up!"
The Atlanta Braves: America's pastime is alive and well in Atlanta, thanks to the Braves. With a rich history and a knack for dramatic comebacks, the Braves have a loyal following. Just don't mention the move from Milwaukee.
The Atlanta Hawks: Soar to new heights with the Atlanta Hawks. This NBA franchise has produced some legendary players and electrifying games. If you're into fast-paced action and high-flying dunks, this is your team.
Atlanta United FC: Soccer, or football as the rest of the world calls it, has taken Atlanta by storm. Atlanta United FC has quickly become one of the most passionate fanbases in MLS. Their matches are a spectacle of color, noise, and unwavering support.
But wait, there's more! Atlanta also has teams in the WNBA (Atlanta Dream) and the National Lacrosse League (Georgia Swarm). So, no matter what your sports preference, there's a team for you in the ATL.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
Beyond the Big Leagues
Atlanta's sports scene extends beyond professional teams. College sports are a huge deal, with Georgia Tech and Georgia State providing plenty of rivalry and excitement. And let's not forget about the Georgia Bulldogs, who have a massive following despite being located a short drive away in Athens.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
