New Obama Presidential Center to Host Upcoming WNBA Events

The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) will become the first professional sports organization to hold several marquee events at the newly opened Obama Presidential Center during AT&T WNBA All-Star 2026, the WNBA announced last week

As part of the All-Star festivities, the Obama Presidential Center will serve as a featured venue for various AT&T WNBA All-Star activities, bringing together players, fans and community members starting on July 24, according to a press release. The events will include the All-Star Media Day and practice; 2026 WNBA Changemaker Day with collaborators including the Chicago Sky, Chicago Public Schools, and the Girls Opportunity Alliance, an initiative of the Obama Foundation; and Jr. WNBA Day, an event designed to inspire girls through basketball, leadership, and learning with a basketball fundamentals clinic, panel discussions, a vision‑board workshop, STEM activities, and more.

“Hosting AT&T WNBA All-Star events at the Obama Presidential Center is a true honor and reflects our commitment to creating connection through basketball and engaging communities in meaningful ways,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert in a press release.

Most of the events will take place in the Center’s 60,000-square-foot athletic building, Home Court, which features a WNBA-regulation basketball court and multi-purpose spaces for programming.
