Which arena was named for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago?

The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago was scheduled for the United Center.

The United Center is the home arena of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls and the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks. The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game marked the league’s return to Chicago for its main midseason showcase and was hosted in the city’s largest major indoor sports venue.

Chicago also hosted the 2022 WNBA All-Star Game, but that event was played at Wintrust Arena, the smaller home venue of the Chicago Sky. That distinction is the main reason the two Chicago arenas can be confused in this question.

The 2026 weekend used both venues for different purposes. The All-Star Game itself took place at the United Center, while ancillary competitions such as the three-point contest and Shooting Stars event were held at Wintrust Arena.
