According to a report from ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, the WNBA has finalized a site for the 2025 All-Star Game. The league will move the annual event to Indianapolis. An official announcement is expected this week.

Indianapolis has never hosted the WNBA All-Star Game. However, the city was the host of the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend. The events took place at Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis Colts) and Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Indiana Pacers, Indiana Fever).

Phoenix was the host city of the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game. Other host cities were Las Vegas and Chicago. Indianapolis was one of four cities with a WNBA franchise that had never hosted the event. Atlanta, Dallas and Los Angeles have also never hosted.

Indianapolis has hosted many high-profile sporting events, including Super Bowl XLVI, multiple Final Fours, Big Ten men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, Big Ten Media Days, the NFL Scouting Combine and more. Indianapolis is also home to the annual Indianapolis 500.

Not only is Indiana capable of hosting such great sporting events, but it is also known as the best basketball state in the country, so it is only fitting that the WNBA finally brings its All-Star Game to town.

The Fever officially joined the WNBA in 2000, with the 2024 season marking the franchise’s 25th year of existence. Indiana has won three Easter Conference titles (2009, 2012, 2015) and one WNBA championship (2012).

Indiana hopes to regain some of its glory with an incredibly talented roster. The Fever selected Aliyah Boston (2023) and Caitlin Clark (2024) with consecutive No. 1 picks in the WNBA Draft.
