when do they announce nba all stars

For the NBA, All-Star starters are usually announced in late January, with reserves revealed a few days to about a week later, roughly 2–3 weeks before the actual All-Star Game each season.

Key timing

• Fan voting for the All-Star Game typically runs from mid-December to mid-January, and voting closes about a month before the game.

• Starters (based on fan, media, and player vote) are then announced on a TV broadcast in the back half of January.

• Coaches’ picks (the reserves) are revealed shortly after, so the full All-Star pool is known by late January or very early February, depending on the schedule that year.

2026 season context

• For the 2026 All-Star Game in Inglewood, fan voting runs until January 14, 2026, and the game is on February 15, 2026, which implies announcements again fall in that late-January window.

• The league follows a similar pattern most years, so if you are asking “when do they announce NBA All-Stars,” think: voting ends mid-January, names drop over TV and online in the last week or so of January.
