The Los Angeles Clippers have announced that the Intuit Dome, their brand-new arena that is set to open in August, will play host to the NBA All-Star Game in 2026.
This will mark the record seventh time that the midseason showcase will be held in Los Angeles.
The event is expected to be watched by fans in more than 200 countries and territories when it takes place in February 2026.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver expressed his excitement for the event, stating that “The Intuit Dome promises to present a unique and innovative live basketball experience which will be an extraordinary venue for the NBA All-Star Game in 2026.”
Clippers owner and billionaire businessman Steve Ballmer, who is helping to finance the Inglewood arena located near SoFi Stadium and the Forum, also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity.
“We are building Intuit Dome to house and showcase the best basketball players in the world, and we are honored they will all be under our roof for NBA All-Star,” said Ballmer.
“Along with Inglewood and Los Angeles, we thank the NBA for bringing the league’s marquee event to Intuit Dome in 2026.”
The All-Star weekend is a three-day event that includes several basketball-related activities.
These include the Rising Stars showcase on Friday, the 3-point and dunk contests on Saturday, and the All-Star Game on Sunday.
The NBA All-Star weekend will be held in Indianapolis in February 2025, before moving to San Francisco in 2025.
