NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the 2026 All-Star game will showcase some version of Team USA vs. Team World.
“Next year, as part of our new media deal, the All-Star Game returns to NBC,” Silver said on FS1’s “Breakfast Ball.” “And it so happens that next season will be smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. So, in fact, the game will be on NBC, and the very day we’re on, the lead-in will be Winter Olympic events, and then coming out of the All-Star Game, which is now gonna be in the afternoon instead of the evening, there’ll be more Olympic events.
