Miami fans are set to get the NBA's biggest weekend back: the city will host 2028 All-Star Weekend, its first since 1990, with the Heat not having bid for it and the NBA approaching the team instead.
Why it matters
For Miami residents, a February All-Star Weekend means a week of crowds, hotel demand and traffic across the county, and the league's decision to move the event to Presidents' Day Weekend shows how the Super Bowl shift is reshaping the calendar. Ticket details and final event locations are still to come.
Miami last hosted All-Star Weekend 38 years ago, in 1990 at Miami Arena. The 2028 All-Star Saturday Night and All-Star Game are expected at Kaseya Center on Feb. 19 and Feb. 20, while ticket details remain unannounced.
The players
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat did not submit a bid to host 2028 NBA All-Star Weekend, though the NBA approached the team about hosting.
NBA
The National Basketball Association scheduled 2027 All-Star Weekend the weekend after Presidents' Day and approached the Heat about hosting in 2028.
Kaseya Center
Kaseya Center is the expected venue for All-Star Saturday Night and the All-Star Game in 2028.
The details
Miami will host 2028 NBA All-Star Weekend, with All-Star Saturday Night and the All-Star Game expected at Kaseya Center. The Miami Beach Convention Center and Watsco Center are expected to host other weekend events. The Miami International Boat Show is moving to a different weekend in 2028, and the Heat did not submit a bid, as the NBA approached the team about hosting. Ticket information will be announced at a later date.

Beyond the 305
The NFL's decision to move the Super Bowl to Presidents' Day Weekend in 2027 forced the NBA to shift its 2027 All-Star Weekend to the following weekend. Previous Miami All-Star Weekends clashed with the Miami International Boat Show on that holiday weekend, which the 2028 schedule now avoids.
Plan on a packed February 2028 weekend, with Kaseya Center crowds and hotel demand likely to be heavy across the county. Watch for ticket announcements, since the timing of sales has not yet been set.
The takeaway
All-Star Weekend returning to Miami in 2028 is a major event for the 305, but the schedule and tickets are still to come. Keep an eye on official NBA and Heat announcements for venue and ticket details.

Ticket information for 2028 All-Star Weekend in Miami will be announced at a later date.
