The 2026 NBA All-Star Game hopes to up the ante with a three-team, round-robin tournament. Will a team of international stars vs. two teams of Americans make All-Star Sunday more exciting this year? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, we’ll see 25 All-Stars take the court at some point with their chance to fill up the box score…or no show.
Here’s how the format works: USA Stars will take on World in Game 1. The winner of that game will play against the USA Stripes in Game 2. Then, in Game 3 the Stripes will go again against the loser of Game 1. The teams with the best record (or tiebreakers) will advance to the All-Star Championship. That all make sense? (We’re not going to get into OT rules)
While playing for their teammates is an obvious motivator, each All-Star is also playing for themselves. The tournament champions get $125,000 each. Plenty of folks out there will be watching with their own money on the line.
