Say goodbye to East vs West, the all-new NBA All-Star Game will see four teams go head-to-head in a semi-final and final style tournament, with four NBA analysts taking control of their very own bespoke rosters.

Since we’re so close to the action, we already know the fixtures: we’ll see Kenny’s Young Stars take on Chuck’s Global Stars to get things going on what is set to be three nights of insanely entertaining action. Game 2 will see Shaq’s OGs up against Candace’s Rising Stars with Game 3 pitting the winners of each game against each other.

As well as the hugely enticing mini-tournament, we’ve also got plenty of other action on offer, including the dunk contest and the rising stars game and the G-League Up Next match. Below you’ll find all the information regarding schedules, timings and TV information...

A crop of stars from around the world. A new generation taking the league by storm. All-time greats & OGs doing work. 🌟🍿
