celebrity all star game 3 point contest
The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend does not have a separate, televised “celebrity 3-point contest” listed on the main event schedule; the 3-point contest everyone’s talking about is the regular NBA All-Star 3-point Contest, plus the usual Celebrity Game as a separate event.
What’s actually on the schedule
- A standard NBA 3-Point Contest featuring current NBA players like Damian Lillard, Devin Booker, Tyrese Maxey, Donovan Mitchell, Jamal Murray, Bobby Portis Jr., Kon Knueppel, and Norman Powell.
- The Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game , which is a full game with celebrities, not a dedicated 3-point contest.
- Other All-Star Saturday events: Shooting Stars and Dunk Contest, with the 3-Point Contest leading off the TV block.
Timing and where to watch
- The State Farm 3-Point Contest kicks off All-Star Saturday at around 5 p.m. ET on February 14, 2026.
- It airs on NBC and streams on Peacock, bundled with the other Saturday night events.
- The Celebrity Game is a separate event (carried by ESPN/Peacock depending on slot) and has its own time block.
“Celebrity 3-point contest” chatter on forums
On fan forums, people often casually say “celebrity all star game 3 point contest” when they mean:
- The NBA 3-Point Contest during All-Star Saturday, and
- The Celebrity Game on All-Star Friday/Saturday, even though there isn’t a formal celebrity-only 3-point contest.
One Reddit post after the 2026 Celebrity Game mentions looking for a “celebrity three-point contest” and advises checking the official NBA site and broadcasters, which suggests fans are mixing up the branding rather than referencing a real, distinct event.
