NBA: Golden State’s Chase Center to host 2025 All-Star Game

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.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made the announcement during a press conference held at Chase Center, and he was joined by Warriors Co-Executive Chairman and CEO Joe Lacob, Warriors Co-Executive Chairman Peter Guber, Warriors President and Chief Operating Officer Brandon Schneider, and San Francisco Mayor London Breed.

“We are thrilled to host our NBA All-Star festivities in the San Francisco Bay Area, where there is a long and storied history of basketball,” the Commissioner said.  “I want to thank Joe [Lacob], Peter [Guber] and the entire Warriors organization for their support in bringing NBA All-Star back to the Bay Area.”

Warriors Co-Executive Chairman and CEO Lacob added: “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.”

“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 2025 NBA All-Star weekend will tip off with the traditional NBA Rising Stars game on Feb. 14 at Chase Center, which will be contested by top rookies and second-year NBA players.

On Saturday, February 15, the fourth NBA HBCU Classic will feature men’s basketball programs from two historically black colleges and universities, followed by State Farm All-Star Saturday Night, which will feature the Kia Skills Challenge, the Starry 3-Point Contest, and the AT&T Slam Dunk.

However, before then, the NBA All-Star 2024 will take place in Indianapolis from February 15 to 18, with the 73rd NBA All-Star Game slated for the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers, for Sunday, Feb. 18.
