The Super Bowl 2026 is now behind us, but on February 15, the NBA All-Star 2026 game will take place in Los Angeles. AT&T, like all other major wireless carriers, loves such big events and will offer fans a way to connect with the game in a more meaningful way.
AT&T invests in basketball
There'll be various immersive, technology-forward experiences, plus some cool large-scale platforms and collaborations.
Basketball sits at the center of pop culture, technology, and community and our work with the NBA reflects the role connectivity plays in bringing those worlds together. From iconic venues to neighborhood courts, we're creating new ways for fans to engage with the game while building the future of connected sports.
– Kellyn Smith Kenny, chief marketing & growth officer, AT&T
