Owner Mat Ishbia strikes again in bringing excitement to the Valley. Phoenix will also host the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game this summer. Before that, it will host the NCAA Men’s Final Four in April.
Ishbia has said in the past he has had it on his agenda for the Suns to host an All-Star Game in the future. Phoenix is the ideal spot for a February event to take place with how good the weather is.
Phoenix has hosted the NBA All-Star Game three times: in 1975, 1995 and most recently in 2009.
Before Phoenix, the Warriors are expected to host the 2025 NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco, and Los Angeles is expected to host the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in Clippers’ new arena, which is slated to open next season.
