Phoenix will become the host city for the 2027 NBA All-Star Weekend, the league announced. It will be the fourth time Phoenix will host the event after having previously done it in 1975, 1995, and 2009.

"Our NBA All-Star festivities in 2027 will showcase Phoenix's love of everything basketball," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in an official statement.

All-Star Weekend events will start on Friday, February 19th, and will continue until Sunday, February 21st, with the NBA All-Star Game ending the festivities.

When Phoenix last hosted the All-Star Weekend in 2009, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal were named co-MVP's, while Kevin Durant, the current Phoenix Suns superstar who then played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, scored a record-breaking 46 points in the Rising Stars game.

The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend will be hosted by the Los Angeles Clippers in their new Intuit Dome arena, the league announced earlier in the season.
