The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) has announced that the 2024 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will feature a matchup between the USA Basketball Women’s National Team and the remaining WNBA All-Stars. This event, marking the league's 20th All-Star Game, is scheduled for Saturday, July 20 at Footprint Center in Phoenix. The game will be broadcast on ABC.

This year marks the second occasion that the All-Star Game will adopt this format. The first instance was on July 14, 2021, when Team WNBA triumphed over the USA Basketball Women’s National Team with a score of 93-85 in Las Vegas before the Tokyo Olympics.

The event will also serve as a send-off for WNBA players selected to compete in the upcoming Paris Olympics. Alongside the main game, there will be additional activities including ESPN's presentation of the STARRY® WNBA 3-Point Contest and Kia WNBA Skills Challenge on Friday, July 19 at Footprint Center.

Phoenix will host not only these competitions but also the third annual WNBA Live presented by U.S. Bank. This two-day fan festival celebrating basketball alongside fashion, music, and culture is set to take place at Phoenix Convention Center from July 19-20.

Further details regarding All-Star selection processes are yet to be released. The USA Basketball Women’s National Team aims for an eighth consecutive gold medal in Paris this summer.
