Assessment

Zaileen Janmohamed, then-President and CEO of the Bay Area Host Committee, claimed on February 20, 2026, that hosting the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend, Super Bowl LX, and six 2026 FIFA World Cup matches would generate approximately $1.4 billion in total economic impact for the Bay Area. As of August 27, 2026, official post-event studies have been released for two of the three events: the Temple University SIRC study calculated NBA All-Star 2025 at $328.2 million in direct economic impact, and the BAHC/BCG report measured Super Bowl LX at $720 million in total economic activity (subtotal of ~$1.05 billion). However, while the FIFA World Cup matches concluded in July 2026, the final post-event economic impact report for the Bay Area matches has not yet been released. Because the default horizon remains open through early 2027, the combined total cannot be determined until the World Cup study is published.

September 11, 2025 Temple University SIRC report calculated NBA All-Star 2025 economic impact at $328.2 million for the Bay Area.
June 4, 2026 BAHC/BCG post-event study calculated Super Bowl LX regional economic activity at $720 million.
As of August 27, 2026, the final post-event economic impact study for the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches at Levi's Stadium has not yet been released.
