On January 19, 2026, the NBA officially announced the starters for the upcoming 75th NBA All-Star Game, scheduled to take place on February 15 at 5 p.m. ET at the Inuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. Leading the pack are Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Dončić and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who have both been pivotal figures in their teams' successes this season.

This year's All-Star rosters include ten starters, five from each conference. In the Eastern Conference, the starters are:

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo | Milwaukee Bucks
  • Jaylen Brown | Boston Celtics
  • Jalen Brunson | New York Knicks
  • Cade Cunningham | Detroit Pistons
  • Tyrese Maxey | Philadelphia 76ers

Meanwhile, the Western Conference will feature:

  • Stephen Curry | Golden State Warriors
  • Luka Dončić | Los Angeles Lakers
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | Oklahoma City Thunder
  • Nikola Jokić | Denver Nuggets
  • Victor Wembanyama | San Antonio Spurs

Notably, Wembanyama secured his starting position after a tiebreaker against Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, signaling his rapid rise in the league.

The selection process for All-Star starters involved three voting groups: fans contributed 50% of the vote, while current NBA players and a media panel each accounted for 25%. The formula to determine a player's score was calculated as follows: (Fan Rank * 2 + Player Rank + Media Rank)/4. Fan votes served as the tiebreaker for players with the same score within a conference.

As for the reserves, they will be announced on February 1 at 6 p.m. ET by NBC/Peacock. Each conference will have seven players selected as reserves, chosen by NBA coaches without regard for position.

This year's All-Star Game will introduce a fresh format: it will feature two teams of U.S. players and one team comprised of international players, dubbed the "World team." The competition will take the form of a round-robin tournament, consisting of four 12-minute games. Each team will have a minimum of eight players, promoting a diverse representation in the All-Star festivities.

With the blend of established stars like Stephen Curry and rising talents like Victor Wembanyama, the 2026 NBA All-Star Game promises to be a showcase of incredible talent. Fans are eager to see how this new format affects the dynamics of the game and the overall experience of the All-Star event.
