The 2023 WNBA All-Star Game will be played in Las Vegas at the Michelob Ultra Arena, home of the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, on July 15, the league announced today. In addition to the All-Star Game, there will be two full days packed with WNBA activities.

The WNBA will also host its “WNBA Live” fan festival, which is now in its second year. An exciting, interactive event that's open to the public, “WNBA Live” will provide fans with an opportunity to experience the intersection of the WNBA, entertainment and culture leading up to the WNBA All-Star Game. 

“The WNBA is thrilled to bring AT&T WNBA All-Star 2023, to Las Vegas, a city that showed such incredible support for the Aces and the WNBA throughout last season, especially during the WNBA Finals presented by YouTube TV when the Aces brought the city its first professional sports championship,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

“This will be the third AT&T WNBA All-Star Game to take place in Las Vegas, where we had memorable experiences in 2019 and 2021. And I can’t think of a better location for us to host our second annual “WNBA Live” interactive fan event that will give WNBA fans two days of incredible opportunities to engage with our brand and partners who have stepped up to support the WNBA.”

On July 14, some of the league’s biggest and brightest stars will display their talents at the 2023 edition of the WNBA 3-Point Contest and WNBA Skills Challenge.

“We’re excited to once again host the league’s signature showcase event in the sports and entertainment capital of the world,” said Aces president Nikki Fargas. “Las Vegas has showed up and showed out for the Aces and the WNBA since our first season, and we are looking forward to welcoming fans from around the world back to Michelob ULTRA Arena for another incredible celebration of the best that women’s basketball has to offer.”
