WNBA Finalizes All‑Star Weekend in Chicago as Legends Complete Draft

Full schedule, national broadcast windows and available tickets prepare the league to spotlight star players during its 30th season.

Overview

  • The WNBA All‑Star Game will be played at the United Center on Saturday, July 25, with a 6:30 p.m. ET tipoff to air on ABC and Disney+ and WNBA Countdown airing beforehand on ESPN and ABC.
  • Hall of Famers Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon acted as honorary general managers and drafted 22 players into Team Coop and Team Spoon, with Becky Hammon and Cheryl Reeve confirmed as the teams’ coaches.
  • All‑Star Weekend runs July 23–25 and includes the WNBA Live fan festival at McCormick Place plus Skills Night at Wintrust Arena on July 24 featuring the 3‑Point Contest and Shooting Stars event.
  • Ticket inventory remains available at a range of prices and resale listings found lowest All‑Star Game seats at about $140 including fees on SeatGeek at the time of reporting.
  • The event uses a weighted voting format combined with the legends draft, and earlier reporting raised questions about low player ballot participation while prize money and Skills Night participants have not yet been announced as star power drives demand.
