Chase Center, the home of seven-time NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors, has been selected to host the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, the league announced on Monday night.
This will mark the third time in history that the Warriors will be hosting an All-Star weekend, having previously done so in 1967 and 2000, but it will be the first time Chase Center will be the ground for the action since it was opened in September 2019.
The 2025 NBA All-Star Game, which will be the 74th edition of the event, will take place on Sunday, February 16, 2025, with other scheduled events to hold across the San Francisco Bay Area from Friday, February 14, including at the Moscone Convention Center, Oakland Arena, and the Warriors’ Oakland facility.
