The 2027 NBA All-Star Game will be held at PHX Arena, formerly known as Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns, in Phoenix, Arizona. The event is returning to Phoenix for the fourth time, and the first since 2009. Fans can expect an entire weekend of action beginning with the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday, followed by the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest during Saturday’s All-Star Saturday Night. The week wraps up on Sunday with the All-Star Game itself.
Beyond the on-court performances, Phoenix will host a diverse range of programming throughout the city. This includes All-Star Practice presented by AT&T, a Celebrity Game, fan festivals, and family-friendly events that bring fans closer to players and legends.
This region of Arizona offers more than basketball. Phoenix draws travellers with its warm desert climate, creative arts scene, and cultural attractions. The downtown area features museums, live music, and restaurants known for Southwestern and global flavours. Nearby, visitors can explore the Sonoran Desert, take scenic hikes in Papago Park, or visit the charming streets of Old Town Scottsdale.
