NBA All-Star Weekend is always one of the most fun sports events of the year, and 2026 is sure to be as lively as ever. While we love to watch the All-Star Game itself (which will debut a new round-robin competition format this year), there’s nothing like watching the pros face off during exhibitions like the slam dunk contest and the 3-point contest. This year, the 3-point contest will feature players like Donovan Mitchell, Tyrese Maxey and Bobby Portis Jr., as well as one somewhat surprising competitor, Damian Lillard, who has spent the entire season on the bench with an Achilles injury. Lillard is a two-time 3-point contest winner.
The 3-point contest will kick off the All-Star Saturday broadcast on NBC and streaming on Peacock. Find out more about who else is competing, when to tune in, and get the full NBA All-Star Weekend schedule below.
