The NBA unveiled the 2026 All-Star starters for a new U.S. vs. World round-robin format, with LeBron James ending his 21-year starter streak.

The NBA has selected ten players to start in the 2026 All-Star Game, which will include a new U.S. Three teams without a position compete in a round-robin tournament in the world format. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, and Tyrese Maxey start in the east; Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, and Victor Wembanyama start in the west. LeBron James' 21-year streak as a starter came to an end when he was not named a starter despite missing time due to injury, but he is still eligible as a reserve. NBC will broadcast the entire All-Star Weekend for the first time since 2002. The event is scheduled for February 15 at Inglewood's arena.
