NBA All-Star 2025 Schedule: How to watch All-Star Game UK, Dunk Contest, TV and streaming details

The NBA takes a break from the regular schedule this week as the annual All-Star game gets underway in San Francisco, California.

A highly-anticipated weekend of basketball, music and some of the NBA’s biggest names will take place at the Chase Center, home of Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and arrives fresh of the back of NFL’s Super Bowl last weekend as the USA keeps the sporting entertainment rolling.

With numerous events taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, basketball fans will be treated to a Dunk Contest, the Rising Stars competition and the three-point contest before the newly formatted All-Star Game itself closes out the weekend.

Showcasing some of the world's biggest basketball names will go head to head as Eastern and Western conference divisions goes head-to-head in a special game. LeBron James will be playing in his 21st consecutive All-Star Game (and making his 20th consecutive start), while Curry will be playing in his 11th All-Star Game.
