"Ask any professional basketball fan, and they likely will tell you their favorite all-star players across the sport. These players are often part of an annual event featuring a series of All-Star games, where 24 of the top players compete over the course of a long weekend. This year's games will feature a new format: one team composed of American players and another featuring international players. If you're hoping to catch the games live, I've broken down how to get NBA All-Star games tickets below."
"The players chosen to take part in these games are chosen by vote. Half of that vote is done by the fans, providing a huge sense of community and encouragement for the fan base to participate in the process, ensuring their favorite players end up in the games. The remaining half of the leftover votes is split between the media and NBA players. The latest round of fan voting results went forward on January 6."
"Chosen players participate in multiple bite-sized games, culminating in a tournament leading up to a championship game to conclude the weekend. In addition to these games, there are also special events. The All-Star series of games (including the WNBA All-Star series) features rising stars in the NBA, celebrity All-Stars, and has two special game events dedicated to highlighting communities and skills."
Twenty-four top players will compete across a long weekend under a new USA-versus-International team format. Players are selected by vote, with half of the votes from fans and the remainder split between media and NBA players; the latest fan results were posted on January 6. Participants play multiple short games that culminate in a tournament and a championship game. The weekend includes special events, rising stars showcases, celebrity All-Stars, and two community-and-skills-focused games. The 2026 All-Star events will take place at Inglewood's Intuit Dome in Los Angeles County. Tickets are available on platforms such as StubHub and Vivid Seats.
