The Philippine Basketball Association All-Star Week is a week event held in the middle of the PBA season, usually before or during the second conference, that consists of a variety of basketball events, exhibitions, and performances culminating in the All-Star Game held on Sunday night. No regular games are held during this period, which is also known as the All-Star break. Since 2017, the All-Star festivities were extended for a week, instead of starting it on a Friday.
The All-Star game, held on Sunday, is the main event of the weekend.
