How to watch NBA All-Star Game 2025 — live stream online from anywhere, schedule, rosters

Damian Lillard #0 of the Milwaukee Bucks and Eastern Conference All-Stars dribbles the ball against Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors and Western Conference All-Stars in the third quarter during the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.

The NBA All-Star Game — dramatically recast as an All-Star tournament — tips off at 8:20 p.m. ET tonight! TNT analysts Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith have each drafted a team, led by LeBron James, Nikola Jokic and Anthony Edwards respectively, while Candace Parker is championing Team C, winners of the Rising Stars Challenge. 

Read on to find out how to watch NBA All-Star Game 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

The 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend runs from Friday, Feb. 14 to Sunday, Feb. 16. Full schedule below.

The single-elimination competition comprises three games, each of which will be first to 40 points. Big Shaq has also got Steph Curry, Jayson Tatum and Kevin Durant, while Sir Charles can call upon Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama. 

Kenny and Canadace have a job on their hands, but Team C, featuring next-gen hopefuls like Zach Edey and Dalton Knecht, will be desperate to prove they can mix it with the big boys. But can anybody outshine Mac McClung, the first player to win three straight Slam Dunk titles?

Thunder and Cavaliers coaches Mark Daigneault and Kenny Atkinson will lead a team apiece, as will one of their assistants.

Here's everything you need to know to watch NBA All-Star Game 2025 live streams, with a full schedule and breakdown of channels below.

How to watch NBA All-Star Game 2025 live streams from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the basketball on your usual subscriptions?

You can still watch your usual NBA All-Star Game live streams thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for hoops fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best VPN on the market:

In the U.S., the NBA All-Star Game is being shown on TNT/TruTV. However, the manifold NBA All-Star Weekend events will air across TNT/TruTV, ESPN and NBA TV.

If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you can get all of those TV channels through an OTT cable TV alternative.

Sling TV is one of the better options. It includes TNT and ESPN in its Orange plan, which costs $45.99/month, but you'll get your first month half-price.

You can add NBA TV via the $11 per month Sports Extra add on.
