The 75th NBA All-Star Game is set to take place on Sunday, February 15th, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, home to the Los Angeles Clippers.
This year’s starters from the Western Conference are highlighted by top Lakers scorer Luka Doncic, Warriors’ sharpshooter Stephen Curry, Thunder’s 2025 NBA Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nuggets’ powerhouse Nikola Jokic, and Spurs’ center Victor Wenbanyama.
On the Eastern side, you’ll find Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, 76ers’ standout Tyrese Maxey, Knicks’ clutch player Jalen Brunson, Pistons’ strongman Cade Cunningham, and Celtics’ star Jaylen Brown.
It may seem hard to believe, but LeBron’s first All-Star Game was way back in 2004. Just imagine, that was when George W. Bush was in office, Outkast topped the charts with “The Way You Move,” and Kenan Thompson was new to “SNL.”
For those eager to experience this year’s contest live, tickets are available on sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats, but they might not come cheap. As of now, the cheapest ticket for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game is around $1,257, including fees. If you’re looking for a spot in the 100-level seats, those start at $3,590, again with fees.
If you’re unfamiliar, the “USA vs. The World” format features three teams—two filled with U.S. players and one of international stars—and each game lasts for 12 minutes.
Alongside this unique All-Star tournament, there will be a slam-dunk contest, a playful Celebrity Game, a Rookie Game, and plenty of practice sessions throughout the long weekend.
