The 2025 NBA All-Star Game is set to break away from tradition with an exciting new format that promises to redefine the event. This year, the league has introduced a fresh approach, dividing the 24 All-Stars into three teams of eight players each.

Adding to the excitement, a fourth team composed of Rising Stars—talented young players ready to make their mark—will join the competition. The tournament will follow a four-team bracket, with two semi-final matchups determining which teams advance to the final round, where they’ll compete for the coveted All-Star trophy.

In a bold move away from the traditional clock-based game, the 2025 All-Star Game will adopt a race-to-40 format. Instead of playing against the clock, teams will aim to reach a target score of 40 points to secure victory. This change is expected to heighten the intensity and pace of the game, offering fans a thrilling spectacle.

The rosters are brimming with star power, featuring some of the biggest names in basketball. From the Western Conference, legends like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant will take the court, while Eastern Conference standouts such as Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell are set to showcase their elite skills.

Here is everything you need to know about the NBA All-Star Game, including schedule, television and streaming options in the United Kingdom (UK).
