Fans might be wondering: Where is the 2027 WNBA All-Star Game?
Perhaps the folks in WNBA leadership know, but the league’s players and the wider public do not. Not even Nneka Ogwumike, the president of the WNBA Players Association.
“I don't know what the process is. We find out with you guys,” Ogwumike said while speaking with reporters after the game. “So, that's something that can change maybe. I think also, when we see the growth of these teams, we see the valuation of these teams, maybe we can make bidding a little bit more competitive for All-Star.”
This year marked the second time in five seasons that Chicago has hosted the All-Star Game. Las Vegas, Phoenix and Madison Square Garden have each hosted three times, while the WNBA has taken the game to Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut four times.
Ogwumike, an 11-time All-Star and forward for the Los Angeles Sparks, said the players would like to see the game go to one of the new cities in the league.
“I do know that, from what I'm hearing from players, they want to see one in Golden State,” Ogwumike said. “So, I think that that would be a good place to be, especially with all these expansion teams, giving these cities an opportunity to host people as they enter this league.”
Last season — their first in the WNBA — the Golden State Valkyries led the league in average attendance, drawing 18,064 fans per game. In May, Sportico reported that the Valkyries were the most valuable WNBA franchise with a valuation of $850 million.
The Valkyries play at the Chase Center in San Francisco, which opened in 2019 as the home of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors.
