NBA All-Star Weekend appears to be headed to Phoenix in 2027, multiple sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.
It’s a huge achievement for new owner Mat Ishbia, who took control of the Suns a little more than a year ago. Ishbia’s Phoenix Mercury will host the WNBA All-Star Game this year.
With a roster featuring Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, the team could be well-represented in the 2027 game. Durant has been an All-Star 16 times in his career, while Booker is a four-time All-Star and Beal has been selected three times.
After taking place in Indianapolis this year, the next three All-Star Weekends will be hosted by Pacific Division teams, Charania notes. San Francisco will host next year’s festivities, followed by Los Angeles in 2026.
It will be the fourth All-Star Game in Phoenix and the first since 2009. The city also served as host in 1975 and 1995.
