The first batch of 2026 NBA All-Stars have been revealed.
The starting fives for each conference were officially announced Tuesday in the midst of the MLK Day quadruple-header on NBC and Peacock.
Here’s a look at the 2026 All-Star starters:
Eastern Conference
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks (10th All-Star appearance)
- Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics (5th)
- Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks (3rd)
- Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons (2nd)
- Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers (2nd)
Western Conference
- Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors (12th)
- Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets (8th)
- Luka Dončić, Los Angeles Lakers (6th)
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder (4th)
- Victory Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs (2nd)
The All-Star starters are determined based on a combination of voting by fans (50% of the vote), current NBA players (25%) and a media panel (25%). The seven reserves for each conference will be selected by NBA head coaches, with that group to be unveiled at a later date.
Jokić and Antetokounmpo were the top scorers in the combined vote for each conference. The players who just missed the cut included Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell. Here’s a look at the full results:
This year’s All-Star Game will look a little different than past years, with a revamped U.S. vs. World format. There will be two U.S. teams and one World team competing in a round-robin tournament featuring four 12-minute games.
The 2026 NBA All-Star Game is set for Sunday, Feb. 15, airing on NBC and Peacock. All events from All-Star Weekend, including the Slam Dunk Contest and Three-Point Contest, will be on NBC for the first time since 2002.
