The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will be played in Indianapolis, the league announced Thursday.

The game will take place July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the home of the Indiana Fever and star player Caitlin Clark. It will be the first time the city has hosted the game.

“We are excited to bring AT&T WNBA All-Star to Indiana for the first time,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a statement. “The city of Indianapolis and the entire state of Indiana have such an incredible and enduring passion for the game of basketball, making the region the perfect host to celebrate the WNBA and the game’s greatest stars.”

The 3-Point Contest and WNBA Skills Challenge will take place July 18.

The league did not specify the format for the game. The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game pitted Team WNBA against the U.S. Women's National Team, with Team WNBA beating Team USA 117–109. The game was watched by 3.44 million people, shattering the previous record of 1.44 million viewers in 2003.

Team USA went on to win its eighth straight gold medal during the Paris Olympics.

The last four WNBA All-Star games not played in an Olympic year featured a format where the top two vote-getters in the balloting were named captains and chose other all-stars for their respective teams.
