The eight-player field is set.
The NBA announced the players who will take part in the 2026 3-Point Contest, where there are several storylines for the players involved.
In a rather unprecedented move, Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is in the pool despite being out for the season to rehab a torn Achilles.
So, what’s the full list of players and where will the event be available to watch and stream? Here’s everything to know:
When is the 2026 NBA 3-Point Contest?
The contest is set for Saturday, Feb. 14 at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT. It is the second event of All-Star Saturday.
Who is participating in the 2026 NBA 3-Point Contest:
Here’s the eight-player field:

Kon Knueppel, Charlotte Hornets
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers
Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers

Both Lillard (2023, 2024) and Booker (2018) are the only participants who have won the contest before. Lillard, 35, is seeking to tie the record of three contests won, shared by Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.
