    Before the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier, with their teams, will face each other in the Commissioner’s Cup Finals this July 2nd.

    In a statement, the WNBA said that “the two All-Star captains will then draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.”

    The 10 starters, including Clark and Collier, were selected from across the WNBA without regard to conference affiliation. Current WNBA players and a media panel joined fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans accounted for 50 percent of the vote, while current WNBA players and a media panel each accounted for 25 percent.

    After the starters have been announced, the league’s head coaches will select the 12 reserves without regard to conference affiliation. The head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players, and four players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. The names of the 12 reserves will be revealed across WNBA social and digital platforms on Sunday, July 6, at noon ET.

    The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, home of the Fever, on Saturday, July 19.

    WNBA All-Star Voting to start this June 12th until June 28th

    June 11, 2025

    WNBA just announced that the WNBA All-Star voting will start this June 12th and will end on before midnight of the 28th of June. The league explained that “fans may submit one full ballot each day via WNBA.com and the WNBA App. All WNBA players currently on team rosters will be available for selection.”

    From WNBA.com;

    WNBA players and media will join fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans will account for 50 percent of the vote, while all current players and a media panel will account for 25 percent each. Players and media panelists will be able to complete one ballot, featuring four guards and six frontcourt players.

    After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes and media votes. Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging their weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes and the media votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best score will be named as starters for AT&T WNBA All-Star 2025. Fan voting will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.

    After the starters have been determined, the league’s head coaches will select the 12 reserves. The head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. The announcement dates for both the starters and reserves will be shared later this month.

    The two All-Star captains – the starters who receive the most fan votes – will then draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves. ESPN will broadcast the results of the roster draft for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game during an hourlong edition of WNBA Countdown on Tuesday, July 8 (7 p.m. ET).

    Dates to remember;

    • June 12 to June 28 – WNBA All-Star Voting period
    • July 8 – 2025 WNBA All-Star Game roster draft
    • July 18 – WNBA Skills Challenge and WNBA 3-Point Contest
    • July 19 – WNBA All-Star Game

    This year’s WNBA WNBA All-Star will be hosted by Indiana Fever in Indianapolis at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
