The 2026 NBA All-Star Game will feature a new U.S. versus World tournament format, with three teams - two representing the United States and one international team - competing in a round-robin format. The reserves for the game have now been revealed, with players like Donovan Mitchell, Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and Devin Booker among those selected by NBA coaches to join the previously announced starters.

Why it matters

The new format is an effort by the NBA to rejuvenate the All-Star Weekend and create a more competitive and engaging event for fans. The U.S. versus World tournament adds an international flair and pits the league's top American stars against its best international talent.

The details

The 24 NBA All-Stars were chosen, with 12 from each conference. The five starters from each conference were voted on by fans (50%), NBA players (25%), and a media panel (25%), while the seven reserves were selected by NBA head coaches. This year, All-Star selections did not consider player positions. If the initial voting did not result in 16 U.S. players and 8 international players, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will designate additional participants.
