Overview

  • The 3-Point Contest and WNBA Skills Challenge are scheduled for Friday, July 24, at Wintrust Arena.
  • WNBA Live, the league’s interactive fan festival, will be held at McCormick Place, with additional community events at the Chicago Sky’s new Bedford Park practice facility.
  • Moving the main event to United Center roughly doubles capacity compared with Wintrust Arena, after the Sky drew two sellout crowds there in 2025.
  • This marks Chicago’s second time hosting the WNBA All-Star, following the 2022 event that was staged at Wintrust Arena.
  • Ticket sale dates and a full weekend schedule will be announced in 2026, as collective bargaining talks with players near an expiration that could affect the broader 2026 season timeline.
