NBA to announce Miami as 2028 All-Star weekend host on Nov. 30

The NBA is set to officially announce Miami as the host city for the 2028 All-Star weekend during an event planned for November 30, according to CBS News Miami and WSVN 7News. The announcement will include NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Miami Heat chairman Micky Arison among attendees.

Miami was chosen several months ago for the 2028 event, with key parts of the agreement already in place, including an approved logo and ongoing logistical planning, CBS News Miami reported.

If LeBron James returns for the 2027-28 NBA season, it could mark his final All-Star weekend, which would be held in Miami. James played four seasons with the Miami Heat, winning two of his four championships there.

This will be Miami's first time hosting the All-Star weekend since 1990. The nearly 40-year gap is attributed to scheduling conflicts, particularly with a large boat show that overlaps with the event and concerns about hotel and event space availability.

Some 2028 All-Star weekend events are tentatively planned to take place at the University of Miami's arena, a practice consistent with previous All-Star weekends that have used multiple venues.
