The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend has arrived with festivities occurring throughout Los Angeles.
The league’s best players will come together for the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. This year marks the 75th annual All-Star Game — and it will be unlike any other.
The L.A. area has hosted the event a record seven times and last had it in 2018.
Two teams of U.S. players will face one World team in a round-robin tournament with four 12-minute games. Each team has a minimum of eight players. Team A will play Team B in Game 1, and the winning team will meet Team C. The loser of Game 1 will face Team C in the penultimate game. The sides with the top two records will match up in the championship.
All-Star Weekend tipped 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 game. The HBCU Classic between Hampton and North Carolina A&T’s men’s basketball teams ended the night at Kia Forum.
On Saturday night, Keshad Johnson defeated Carter Bryant in the slam dunk contest, Damian Lillard edged Devin Booker to win the 3-point contest, and Team Knicks beat Team Cameron in the Shooting Stars competition.
