NBA All-Star 2026: Live updates, highlights through the weekend
The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend is here with festivities taking place throughout Los Angeles.
The league’s best players will gather Sunday for a record seventh NBA All-Star Game at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. This year marks the 75th annual All-Star Game – and it will be like no other.
The Los Angeles area last hosted this event-packed weekend in 2018.
Two teams of American players will face a global team in a round-robin tournament featuring four 12-minute matches. Each team has a minimum of eight players. Team A will face Team B in the first match and the winning team will meet Team C. The loser of the first match will face Team C in the penultimate match. The teams with the two best records will compete in the championship.
All-Star Weekend kicked off Friday with the Celebrity Game at the Kia Forum in Inglewood. The Rising Stars followed at Intuit Dome with Team Vince defeating Team Melo to win the championship in a highly competitive match. The HBCU Classic between the Hampton and North Carolina A&T men’s basketball teams concluded the evening at the Kia Forum.
Saturday night will feature the 3-point and dunk contests, as well as the return of the Shooting Stars competition which will feature four NBA alumni: Richard Hamilton, Allan Houston, Corey Maggette and Ron Harper Sr.
