About Basketball All-Star Games
All-Star weekend is the NBA's midseason showcase. It's three days of events — the Rising Stars game, the skills competitions, and the main event on Sunday night. The whole thing is designed for entertainment. Defense is optional. The stars put on a show, and millions of fans tune in. The 2026 All-Star weekend wrapped up in February, with next year's event already on the calendar.
The main event
The All-Star Game is the headline. The league's best players split into two teams, usually drafted by the top vote-getters. The game itself is a high-scoring exhibition. No one plays defense until the fourth quarter, if they play it at all. The format has changed a few times over the years — they've tried Elam endings, team captains picking rosters, all kinds of stuff. The goal is always to make it competitive, but it's still a showcase first and foremost.
Star players
This year's All-Star Game featured the usual suspects. LeBron James made his 21st appearance — still playing at 41. Stephen Curry put on a show in the three-point contest and the main game. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and Nikola Jokic rounded out the international contingent. The young guys — Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — are taking over, but the old heads still get the spotlight.
Skills events
The three-point contest is usually the best part. This year's edition had some serious shooting. The slam dunk contest has lost some shine over the years — the best players don't participate anymore. The skills challenge is whatever. The Rising Stars game on Friday night is actually competitive sometimes, with young guys trying to prove something. But Sunday night is the main draw.
Viewership
All-Star weekend is a global event. The NBA estimates around 100 million viewers across all events in over 200 countries. The Sunday game alone usually pulls between 5 and 8 million viewers in the US, plus tens of millions internationally. The numbers have dipped a bit in recent years, but it's still one of the biggest non-playoff events in sports.
TV options in the US
TNT and TBS are the exclusive broadcasters for All-Star weekend. They cover the Rising Stars game, the skills events, and the main game. ESPN doesn't have the rights. There's no free over-the-air coverage — it's all on cable. If you don't have cable, you're going to need a live TV streaming service that carries TNT.
Streaming options in the US
Max (formerly HBO Max) streams TNT and TBS games through the B/R Sports add-on. It's about $10 a month. YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV also carry TNT. If you're a cord-cutter, Max is probably the cheapest option.
International streaming
For fans outside the US, NBA League Pass carries the All-Star events. The subscription covers the whole weekend. Some countries also have local broadcast deals — in Canada, TSN carries the games. In Europe and Asia, it varies by country. But League Pass is the most reliable option for international fans. No blackouts. All the events in one place.
Next All-Star Game
The 2027 NBA All-Star Game is scheduled for February 2027 in Phoenix. The format is still being finalized, but it'll be the usual weekend of events. The game itself will be on TNT, with international coverage on League Pass. The host city always puts on a show, and Phoenix has hosted before. Expect the usual mix of stars, celebrities, and over-the-top production.
