The NBA has reportedly chosen Miami to host the 2028 All-Star Game, marking the city's first time hosting the event since 1990.
Key facts
- •The 2028 All-Star weekend is tentatively scheduled for November 30.
- •Miami last hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 1990.
- •The event is expected to be confirmed by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Miami Heat President Micky Arison.

The NBA has selected Miami to host the All-Star Game and the surrounding weekend festivities in 2028, according to reports. While the league and the Miami Heat have not yet made a public announcement, sources indicate that logistical planning is underway and the event's logo has already been approved.
Overcoming Scheduling Conflicts
Miami has not hosted the All-Star event since 1990. The nearly 40-year gap is attributed to scheduling conflicts with the city's major annual yacht and boat show, which previously created concerns regarding the availability of high-end hotel accommodations and event spaces.
Event Logistics and Potential Milestones
Current plans suggest that some events may be held at the University of Miami arena, consistent with the league's recent practice of utilizing multiple venues. The 2028 event could potentially coincide with the 25th and final season of LeBron James, should he remain active through the 2027–2028 season.
