2026 NBA All-Star Game Weekend Planning Blueprint

An All-Star Weekend in Inglewood is easy to plan if you sort the tickets and the base early.

1. Decide which events you actually want. The main game sells mainly through NBA Experiences packages, while Rising Stars, the Celebrity Game and All-Star Saturday Night sell separately on NBAEvents.com. Map your three nights before you buy.
2. Book a base in the venue cluster. Stadium-district hotels sit steps from the Intuit Dome; airport-side options near LAX are a short ride down Century Boulevard.
3. Plan to walk, not drive. The Intuit Dome, Kia Forum and Hollywood Park dining sit close together — anchor your weekend in that district and save rideshare for the airport run.
4. Line up your pre-game spots. Arena-side sports bars and immersive venues fill fast on All-Star nights — pick your gathering point before the crowds arrive.
5. Build in one local meal. Between arena-district restaurants, make time for an Inglewood institution — it is the part of the trip the new buildings can’t give you.

Who This Event Fits Best

All-Star Weekend pulls a wide crowd, but a few kinds of fans get the most out of a trip like this.

• The new-arena collector. You travel to see buildings, not just teams. The Intuit Dome is the newest arena in the NBA, and All-Star Weekend is the most concentrated way to experience it.
• The Saturday-night purist. The All-Star Game format keeps changing, but the contests are the constant. If the 3-Point and Slam Dunk Contests are why you watch, Saturday is your night.
• The young-talent scout. You want to see the next wave first. The Castrol Rising Stars showcase — rookies, sophomores and G League standouts — is built for you.
• The all-in weekender. You are not picking one event; you want the whole thing. Inglewood rewards that — the Forum, the Intuit Dome and the Hollywood Park district are close enough to walk.
• Maybe sit this one out if… you are chasing competitive, defense-first basketball. The All-Star Game is an exhibition by design — if a regular-season matchup is what moves you, save the trip for one.
