The NBA has scheduled NBA All-Star Weekend 2027 in Phoenix from Friday, February 19 through Sunday, February 21. This dated guide records the league's published calendar, explains the arena name change that may otherwise cause confusion, and shows how to verify whether Kalshi has opened any related event contract.
Primary sources checked: Kalshi View reviewed the NBA's official host announcement, which names Phoenix and lists the weekend schedule, and the NBA future-locations page, which independently confirms February 19-21, 2027 and identifies the current arena name. Kalshi's KXNBASLAMDUNK series record, KXNBA3PTCONTEST series record, and KXNBAALLSTARMVP series record establish that NBA All-Star outcomes are a recurring subject area on the platform. This source snapshot is dated July 28, 2026.
The 76th NBA All-Star Game tips off on Sunday, February 21, 2027. The surrounding events fill the preceding two days:
The NBA's host announcement describes Saturday's event lineup. The two official NBA pages reviewed on July 28, 2026 did not list participant names, exact start times, broadcast details or ticket inventory. Recheck the live NBA pages before relying on any of those details.
Phoenix hosts the 2027 festivities at the home arena of the Phoenix Suns. The current NBA future-locations page and the official venue website list the arena as Mortgage Matchup Center.
If you encounter references to "Footprint Center," that was the arena's name when the NBA published its original March 2024 host announcement. The current NBA future-locations page and arena website use Mortgage Matchup Center for the same Phoenix Suns venue. Recheck the official pages before relying on the venue name.
For quick reference, here is the verified three-day window:
This calendar is based on official NBA announcements checked on July 28, 2026. Dates, venue names, and event formats can change. Traders and fans should recheck the live NBA pages before making decisions that depend on the schedule.
Kalshi operates annual prediction-market series tied to NBA All-Star Weekend outcomes. The platform's public API identifies three recurring series:
All three series records link to the same NBAALLSTAREVENT contract-terms document and name ESPN, Fox Sports and the NBA as settlement sources. Dated open-events API queries returned zero events for each series during this July 28, 2026 review. This guide therefore does not claim that a 2027 Slam Dunk, 3-Point Contest or All-Star MVP contract is live.
To verify current availability, visit Kalshi's live markets directory and search for "NBA All-Star," "Slam Dunk," or related terms. If a relevant market appears, open its exact market page and linked rules, then verify its ticker, settlement source, close time and resolution wording. Check Kalshi's current fee and eligibility materials separately. Do not assume that a 2027 contract exists based on an annual series record.
For broader context on how Kalshi structures its rules, see the platform's market-rules guidance and market-outcomes documentation. Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated designated contract market, as shown in the official DCM filing. Regulatory status does not guarantee that every event will have a corresponding contract or that a contract will be available in every jurisdiction.
This page is a static source checklist, not a live odds board, roster preview, or trading recommendation. The following remain unverified as of the publication date:
The NBA pages control the event-calendar facts cited here; an exact Kalshi market and its linked rules would control any contract-specific facts. Treat claims about participants, prices, availability or outcomes as unverified until the relevant official source publishes them.
Recheck the official NBA host announcement, future-locations page and arena site when the league publishes roster, format, broadcast or contest-participant updates. The editorial calendar schedules another source review for December 23, 2026 and a final-week check for February 14, 2027; those dates are review reminders, not NBA or Kalshi deadlines.
Before trading any contract, verify the exact rules on Kalshi's market page. Settlement sources, close times, and participant thresholds are defined by the contract terms, not by the NBA's public schedule or by this article.
The NBA All-Star Game is scheduled for Sunday, February 21, 2027. The NBA's host announcement and future-locations page, checked July 28, 2026, list the full weekend for February 19-21, with Rising Stars on Friday and All-Star Saturday Night on Saturday. The two pages reviewed did not list exact tip-off times or broadcast details.
Phoenix, Arizona hosts the 2027 edition at Mortgage Matchup Center, home of the Phoenix Suns. The older host announcement used the arena's former Footprint Center name; the current NBA future-locations page and arena website use Mortgage Matchup Center for the same venue.
Kalshi has annual series records for Slam Dunk Contest Winner (KXNBASLAMDUNK), 3-Point Contest Winner (KXNBA3PTCONTEST), and All-Star Game MVP (KXNBAALLSTARMVP). On July 28, 2026, the official open-events API returned zero events for each series, so this guide does not claim that a 2027 contract is live. Check Kalshi's live markets directory and exact rules for current availability.
Search Kalshi's live markets directory for the event, then open the exact market and linked rules. Verify the ticker, settlement source, close time and resolution wording there; check Kalshi's current fee and eligibility materials separately. An annual series record does not guarantee that a 2027 contract exists or is available to a particular reader.
