The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is likely to cancel the 2025 All-Star Weekend due to scheduling conflicts. Initially postponed in Davao due to security concerns, the event faced further challenges with a potential host unable to commit to the rescheduled dates after the May 12 elections. An alternative date in July was also ruled out due to the timing of the Philippine Cup Finals. This marks another potential cancellation for the PBA, following previous years without an All-Star event.
