BREAKING: In 2025, the San Francisco Bay Area and the Golden State Warriors will host NBA All-Star Weekend

The Bay Area will host the NBA All-Star Game.

The league announced on Monday that the Golden State Warriors will host the 2025 All-Star weekend at the Chase Center in downtown San Francisco. It will be the first time the event and the Warriors have hosted the All-Star Game since 2000 at the arena, which opened in 2019 following the Warriors’ relocation from Oakland.

“It has been 25 years since the NBA All-Star Game was played in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we are delighted to bring the NBA’s marquee event to Chase Center in 2025,” Warriors owner Joe Lacob said in a statement. “In addition to the significant economic impact and tourism business that NBA All-Star will drive, we look forward to hosting various events in San Francisco and Oakland to bring together basketball fans from all over the world.”

The All-Star Game is returning to the Bay Area in 2025.

The Bay Area’s All-Star Weekend is scheduled to begin on February 14, 2025, and end on Sunday with the All-Star Game. The Oakland Arena, formerly the Oracle Arena, where the Warriors played before relocating to the Chase Center, will host several events as well.

The All-Star Game for this season will take place in Indianapolis’ Gainbridge Fieldhouse. On February 16, the 2024 All-Star weekend will begin. The Eastern Conference will play the Western Conference in a traditional format this season, as the league announced last month.

The NBA has played an untimed fourth quarter that ended once a team hit the “final target score,” also known as an Elam ending, and has employed an All-Star Draft for the previous six seasons. Those two adjustments are no longer there.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stated that part of the goal of the modifications was to restore competition to the game. That is not likely to be achieved by the changes, though, as that was the NBA’s original intention when it made those modifications in 2018.
