The WNBA All-Star Weekend in 2025 is headed to Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The league announced Monday that the city of Indianapolis would be the site for the 2025 WNBA All-Star festivities. All of the WNBA's brightest stars will gather in the Circle City for a much-needed mid-season break. Last year's festivities in Phoenix included the 3-Point Contest, Skills Challenge, and All-Star Game between Team USA and Team WNBA. Indiana's Caitlin Clark was one of two rookies selected to participate-- Chicago's Angel Reese being the other.

The Fever released a post on X showcasing the event's official logo.

The Fever stated in a separate Instagram post that the design was an attempt to combine the WNBA's "signature orange" and the Indiana Fever's red, blue, and gold. The banner promoting the event is already fastened on the side of Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

WNBA All-Star Weekend is set to take place July 18 and 19.

The Indiana Fever went from being one of the WNBA's lowest viewed and attended franchises to one of the hottest draws in sports, seemingly overnight. The reason is obvious: Caitlin Clark. Ever since she was drafted first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Fever ticket sales and television ratings skyrocketed.

Of the 40 league games the team participated in, both home and away, the Fever sold out 36 of them.

It is clear that the WNBA's biggest market, even after the New York Liberty secured the 2024 WNBA title, is Indianapolis-- making the decision to grant the city hosting rights easy.
