Overview
- The showcase will be held Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood and air on NBC/Peacock at 5 p.m. ET.
- Two U.S. squads and one World team will play four 12-minute games in a round robin, with point differential breaking a three-way 1-1 tie to set the final.
- All-Stars will total 24 (12 per conference), with starters chosen by fans (50%), players (25%) and media (25%), and reserves picked by head coaches; selections are positionless.
- If voting does not yield at least 16 U.S. players and eight internationals, Commissioner Adam Silver will add players, resulting in at least one roster exceeding eight.
- The NBA will finalize how U.S. players are split and how coaches are selected later, following years of criticism of listless All-Star play and last season’s panned mini-tournament.
