The Chase Center, opened in 2019, has quickly become a fan favorite, offering breathtaking views and a top-tier basketball experience. Now, it’s set to host the best players in the world, making this All-Star Game a can’t-miss event.
Interestingly, this isn’t the Warriors’ first rodeo. They hosted their inaugural All-Star Game in 1960 as the Philadelphia Warriors, then again in 1967 as the San Francisco Warriors at the Cow Palace. But 2025? This feels like a full-circle moment, firmly rooted in San Francisco’s heart at the Chase Center.
For fans, it’s personal. The city will be buzzing with anticipation, and the arena will undoubtedly be packed. It’s a celebration of both the Warriors’ legacy and the Bay Area’s love for the game.
But, what about tickets?

If those numbers make you flinch, don’t worry—other events throughout the weekend offer a range of prices, so fans of all budgets can join the action. Whether you’re courtside or catching the game from the upper deck, the All-Star experience will be unforgettable.

What’s different about this year’s All-Star Game format?
The NBA All-Star 2025 is switching things up again! This year, there will be four teams instead of the usual two.

The fourth team, Team Candace, will be made up of the Rising Stars event champions, featuring the best rookies, sophomores, and G League standouts, with WNBA icon Candace Parker as their honorary GM.
The action starts with two semifinal games, and the winners face off in a championship showdown. To advance, teams need to hit at least 40 points in each game. Coaches Kenny Atkinson (Cavs) and Mark Daigneault (Thunder), along with assistants from their staffs, will lead the squads.
Players will compete for a $1.8 million prize pool, with $125,000 going to each member of the championship team. Get ready for a fresh twist on the showcase!
