Footprint Center, Phoenix
NBA All-Star Weekend is three days of the league's best in one place, headlined by Saturday night's contests and Sunday's All-Star Game, in Phoenix over the weekend of February 19 to 21, 2027.
All-Star is really a weekend, not a game. Rising Stars on Friday, the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night, and the All-Star Game on Sunday. For many fans, Saturday night is the real draw. A warm Phoenix February makes it a genuine winter escape as well as a basketball trip.
The events sell as separate tickets, and the marquee sessions move fast, so deciding which nights you want is the first real decision.
