Los Angeles to host 2026 NBA All-Star Game

According to the National Basketball Association on Tuesday, Los Angeles will host the 2026 NBA All-Star Game. The game will take place at the Intuit Dome, which is currently under construction, and set to be completed later this calendar year.

This will be the seventh time that the NBA All-Star Game is taking place in Los Angeles. They previously hosted the game in 1963, 1972, 1983, 2004, 2011 and 2018. The most valuable players in the six prior games have been among the best players of all-time. They are Boston Celtics Hall of Fame center Bill Russell of Monroe, Louisiana, Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Fame point guard Jerry West of Chelyan, West Virginia, Philadelphia 76ers Hall of Fame small forward Julius Erving of East Meadow, New York, Lakers Hall of Fame center Shaquille O’Neal of Newark, New Jersey, Lakers Hall of Fame shooting guard Kobe Bryant of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the NBA’s All-Time leading scorer LeBron James of Akron, Ohio. At the time in 2018, James was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Intuit Dome will be the new arena for the Los Angeles Clippers. Ironically, the arena will be located in Inglewood, California. That was the same part of Los Angeles County where the old Great Western Forum took place. That arena hosted the Lakers from 1967 to 1999. In addition to hosting the NBA All-Star Game, the Intuit Dome will be the host site for basketball at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

This is the second major sporting event that is coming to Los Angeles that has been announced in the last five weeks. On December 13, the National Football League announced Los Angeles will host the 2027 Super Bowl. The 2024 NBA All-Star Game will be in Indianapolis, and the 2025 NBA All-Star Game will be in San Francisco.
