New Format Introduced for 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend
Dig deeper:
To keep things interesting and competitive, the NBA is trying a different format. As fans recall, the East vs. West All-Star format was replaced in 2018 with team captains picking their teams. In 2026, the Association is introducing a new U.S. vs. World format, encompassing two teams of U.S. players and one team of international players.

Which Players Will Attend All-Star Weekend?
The 24 players (12 from each conference) selected for the NBA All-Star Game are chosen by fans, current players, and a media panel. The five players in each conference selected as starters are chosen by fans (50% of the vote), current NBA players (25%), and the media panel (25%).
The seven additional players, the reserves, are selected by the league’s head coaches. In addition to the new format, league officials said All-Stars will be selected without any restrictions to position, and the process for assigning players to the two U.S. teams will be announced later.
If 16 U.S. players and eight international players aren’t selected, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will pick additional All-Stars. An exact date for the polls to open hasn’t been announced.
The 2025 All-Stars included James Harden, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, Nikola Jokić, Victor Wembanyama, and Anthony Davis.
