WNBA Reveals Host of 2027 All-Star Game
The WNBA announced that the 2027 All-Star weekend will be hosted by the Golden State Valkyries at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The shooting skills challenge and 3-point competition are scheduled for July 30, with the All-Star Game taking place on July 31. Since their expansion in 2023, the Valkyries have made a significant impact on the league, earning two playoff berths in just two seasons.
The team has also led the WNBA in attendance, with 41 consecutive sellouts at the Chase Center. Moreover, the Valkyries have reached a franchise valuation exceeding $1 billion, making them the first women's sports franchise to achieve such a milestone. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie expressed his excitement, stating that the city is a hub of sports and that the WNBA's presence will showcase the city's passion for women's sports and its resurgence.
The Bay Area has previously hosted major sporting events like the Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup, and the Chase Center recently hosted the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend.
