WNBA Announces 2027 All-Star Game at San Francisco's Chase Center

The WNBA announced on August 18, 2026, that its 2027 All-Star Game will be held at Chase Center in San Francisco, with festivities scheduled for July 30 and 31, 2027. The league’s midseason showcase will mark the first time the event is hosted in the Bay Area, with the Golden State Valkyries serving as the host franchise.

Commissioner Cathy Engelbert made the official announcement during a press conference at Chase Center. She cited the remarkable energy and fan engagement surrounding the Valkyries as a key factor in bringing the marquee event to the city. The team, which joined the league as an expansion franchise in 2025, has sold out every home game since its inception. Players union president Nneka Ogwumike had previously indicated that many athletes felt Golden State would be an ideal host.

The Valkyries have experienced rapid on-court success, becoming the first expansion team to make the playoffs in each of its first two seasons. The team clinched its 2026 playoff berth with a victory over the Dallas Wings on the day before the All-Star announcement. Golden State advanced to the playoffs in its inaugural 2025 season, falling to the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx.
