SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Golden State Warriors will host the 2025 All-Star Game at Chase Center, a showcase years in the making as the organization hoped to host major events in its sparkling new arena.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made the announcement Monday at the 4-year-old venue in San Francisco, where the Warriors moved from across the bay in Oakland. It’ll be the third time that the Warriors play host to an All-Star weekend, joining 1967 and 2000.

Events will be held from Feb. 14-16, 2025. Some will take place at the team’s former home in Oakland, California — including the All-Star Celebrity Game, All-Star practices, the NBA HBCU Classic and the G League Next Up Game.

Chase Center will be the site of the Rising Stars Game on All-Star Friday, the All-Star Saturday Night lineup including the 3-point contest and dunk competition, and the All-Star Game itself on Sunday.

The 2024 All-Star weekend is being held in Indianapolis, with Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the home of the Pacers, hosting the 73rd NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 18, the Rising Stars Game on Friday, Feb. 16 and the HBCU Classic on Saturday, Feb. 17. Nearby Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, will host the All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday as well All-Star Saturday Night.
