This year, NBA All-Star Weekend will look a little different than it has in past years. This year, three teams will play a mini-tournament with games capped at 40 points; the winner will be crowned at Sunday night’s Championship final airing live on TNT at 10 p.m. ET. But the big game is just one of many events happening throughout the weekend. Taking place in San Francisco this year, All Star Weekend will include the celebrity All-Star game with one team of celebs coached by baseball legend Barry Bonds and rapper 2Chainz, and the other coached by Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice and influencer Khaby Lame. There will also be a Rising Stars competition on Friday, the dunk and 3-point contest on Saturday, all followed by the main event on Sunday.

What channels do I need to watch NBA All-Star Weekend?
This season, the NBA’s All-Star Weekend games and events will air across ESPN, TNT, TBS, truTV, and NBA TV. These channels are all available on platforms like DirecTV, Sling, and Hulu + Live TV. Fubo TV carries all of these channels with the exception of TNT/TBS/truTV, which are instead available on Max.
How to watch NBA All-Star Weekend live:
While we typically love Fubo for most sports, there’s one caveat when subscribing to Fubo specifically for NBA access, and that’s the fact that the platform doesn’t carry TNT, which will be carrying a majority of All-Star weekend coverage, including the semi-finals and championship game on Sunday. Fortunately, you can tune in to TNT, as well as ESPN, ABC, NBA TV and ESPN2 on DirecTV and Hulu with Live TV, which will give you access to all of the weekend’s events.
DIRECTV has the channels you need to watch All-Star Weekend’s basketball games live, including ABC, ESPN, TNT, FOX Sports, NBA TV & 40+ regional sports networks, making it one of the most comprehensive places to watch the NBA. You can also add on a subscription NBA League Pass so you won’t have to miss a single out-of-market game. After a free trial, packages start at $74.99/month.
