Detroit has been a rising sports city during the 2020s. The Detroit Lions<\/a> were close to making the 2023 Super Bowl and had one of the best teams during the 2024-25 NFL season. Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons<\/a> had the best record in the Eastern Conference during the 2025-26 NBA season. Now, the city could be landing All-Star Games.<\/p>\n

The Pistons and Red Wings are having ongoing conversations about a future NBA and NHL All-Star Game in Detroit, Michigan, as reported by Detroit Sports Commission executive director Marty Dobek to Jeremy Otto<\/a>. The city hasn\u2019t hosted an All-Star Game since MLB came to Comerica Park in 2005.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the last time Detroit hosted an NBA All-Star Game was 1979 at the Pontiac Silverdome. Finally, the last NHL All-Star Game hosted in Detroit was on February 5, 1980, at the Joe Louis Arena. Needless to say, the city hasn\u2019t been a very popular destination for All-Star Games during the 21st century.<\/p>\n

The Pistons are looking to host the NBA All-Star Game in either 2029 or 2030<\/a>, which would celebrate the \u201cBad Boys\u201d era of basketball. Little Caesars Arena would love to host an All-Star Game, but it has to make sense for the NBA or NHL. The Red Wings may have more difficulty, as the NHL All-Star Game isn\u2019t an annual event at this point.<\/p>\n

Detroit deserves to host an All-Star Game soon. It has been over 20 years since Comerica Park hosted the 2005 MLB All-Star Game. The city is on the rise in sports, and the fans have been very passionate. It may not happen for a few years, but Detroit is pushing for an NBA or NHL All-Star Game in the near future right now.<\/p>\n
