PBA cancels All-Star event due to scheduling issues

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial announced on Wednesday that the 2025 All-Star event is likely canceled due to scheduling issues.

Marcial revealed negotiations with potential host cities failed as proposed dates after the May elections are unavailable, and despite attempts to reschedule for May 16-18, no suitable hosts were found.

The original plan was for Davao del Norte to host the event from May 2-4 but security concerns led to a postponement and search for another venue.

Despite the cancellation of the All-Star game, Marcial assured that contributions to the Players' Trust Fund will still be made.

In line with the now essentially canceled All-Star festivities, the PBA decided to hold regular Philippine Cup games during the supposed All-Star dates.
