          The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game will be played Saturday, July 20 (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN App) at Footprint Center in Phoenix.

          The 20th edition of the event will see a matchup of the All-Stars on the U.S. women's national team -- which will be competing for an eighth consecutive gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games -- against the remaining WNBA All-Stars.

          A skills challenge and a 3-point contest will take place July 19 (6 p.m. ET, ESPN).

          The All-Star Game also marks the WNBA's regular-season break (July 18 to Aug. 15) while the Olympics (July 26 to Aug. 11) are being held.

          The last time the WNBA used this format for the All-Star Game, ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Team WNBA defeated Team USA 93-85 in Las Vegas, with Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings earning MVP honors.

          Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty won last year's 3-point contest with a record 37 points, while the Las Vegas Aces' Kelsey Plum and Chelsea Gray won the 2023 skills challenge.

          Come back here for more updates right through the All-Star Game.

          Rookie sensations Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky headline the 12-player Team WNBA, the league announced Tuesday.

          Snubs and biggest questions around the Team WNBA roster

          Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese as WNBA All-Star teammates has "breaking the Internet" potential on gameday.

          But Seattle Storm center Ezi Magbegor being left off is perhaps "the most egregious omission ever from the WNBA All-Star Game." ESPN's Kevin Pelton, Michael Voepel and Alexa Philippou break down the All-Star Game roster.
