<\/p>\nFeb. 15, 2026, 8:01 a.m. ET<\/p>\n
By the end of NBA All-Star Weekend this Sunday, we will have the customary NBA All-Star Game finale.<\/p>\n
But the path we’re taking to get there is a bit different this year.<\/p>\n
For one, there are two USA teams and one World team that, you guessed it, is comprised entirely of international players. Each team has eight active players. Yes, there were West and East starters designated beforehand, but that honor is more ceremonial than ever. The three mentioned teams will participate in a round-robin tournament featuring four separate games. Team A will play Team B in Game 1. Then, the winning team from Game 1 will play Team C in Game. After that, the losing team from Game 1 will also take on Team C.<\/p>\n
At the conclusion of Game 3, the two teams with the best records will advance to the fourth and final game, the de facto All-Star Game. Point differential will be used as a tiebreaker, if necessary.<\/p>\n
Here are all three rosters participating in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.<\/p>\n
