That’s a pretty epic hype video and you can be sure that the Suns, the city of Phoenix, and the adoring fans will be very much looking forward to this upcoming event over the next few years.
In case you were wondering, next year’s iteration of the All-Star festivities will be held in the Bay Area as the Golden State Warriors host the event at the Chase Center. In 2026, the All-Star weekend will take place in LA after the Los Angeles Clippers and their new Intuit Dome (set to open its doors in August of this year) were selected as the hosts.
Last month, the Indiana Pacers and the city of Indianapolis did a commendable job in hosting the 2024 All-Star Game. it also brought in a ton of revenue for both the organization and the city, which is why it comes as no surprise that the privilege of hosting this three-day event has become such a highly coveted prerogative for NBA cities across America.
