The contest on July 31, ​2027, at Chase Center will mark the first time the league's midsummer ‌showcase has been held in the region.

"We are thrilled to bring AT&T WNBA All-Star to the San Francisco Bay Area for the first time," WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a ​news release. "The Golden State Valkyries have brought incredible energy and excitement to the ​WNBA from the moment they were announced as an expansion team ⁠in 2023, and the response from fans across the Bay Area has been ​remarkable. Valkyries fans have embraced this team with an extraordinary level of passion and ​enthusiasm, and we can't wait to see that energy on full display for an unforgettable All-Star weekend next summer."

The Valkyries (25-9) entered Tuesday with the league's second-best record, behind the Minnesota Lynx (29-7). Golden ​State went 23-21 and made the playoffs as an expansion team in 2025.

"Hosting ​AT&T WNBA All-Star in only our third season is an incredible honor and a reflection of ‌everything ⁠this fanbase, this region and this organization have built together," Valkyries team president Jess Smith said. "From day one, the Bay Area has shown up for this team in a way that's redefined what's possible in women's basketball, and we can't wait to ​put that same energy ​on display for ⁠the entire league next summer."

The Shooting Stars event and 3-Point Contest will take place at Chase Center on July 30, airing ​on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET. The All-Star Game will ​air at ⁠8:30 p.m. ET the following day on ABC.

Last week, Major League Baseball awarded its 2028 All-Star Game to San Francisco. The NBA held its All-Star Game at Chase Center ⁠in ​2025.

"People are coming from across the world to ​visit our city, and we're excited to welcome even more for the 2027 WNBA All-Star Game," San Francisco ​Mayor Daniel Lurie said. "San Francisco is the center of the sports world."
