We’re nearly halfway through the regular season, but the 2022 NBA All-Star Game is still more than a month away. Still, All-Star Weekend will be here before we know it, so where and when does the 2022 NBA All-Star Game take place, and which players should we expect to see there?
Where and when is the 2022 NBA All-Star Game?
The host city for the NBA All-Star Game changes every year. Last season, it was held at State Farm Arena, the home of the Atlanta Hawks. The United Center in Chicago hosted the game a year before that.
This season, the NBA All-Star Game will be held at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the home arena of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It’s the first time Cleveland has hosted an All-Star Game since 1997, when Glen Rice won the MVP award.
NBA All-Star Weekend will take place from February 18-20. The All-Star Game is scheduled for Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET.
