The NHL has announced the location for the 2026 All-Star Game

The National Hockey League has announced that the 2026 All-Star Game will take place in New York at the home arena of the Islanders.

The star-studded weekend in 2026 will be hosted at the UBS Arena, which serves as the home ice for the New York Islanders. The association added that the dates and times for the NHL All-Star Game will be announced later.

"The National Hockey League is excited to have the best and brightest players of our game welcome guests at the impressive UBS Arena for the 2026 NHL All-Star Weekend. We have been eagerly awaiting the UBS Arena to host one of our league's premier events even before the construction of this wonderful venue began.

We are confident that the Islanders, led by Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky, will put on a celebration that all of New York and the NHL will be proud of," said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

The 2026 NHL All-Star Game will be the 69th in the league's history. It's worth noting that there will be no All-Star Weekend in 2025 due to the Four Nations Tournament taking place during that period. From February 12th to 20th, matches featuring Canada, the United States, Finland, and Sweden will be held.

In 2026, the All-Star Game will be held on the eve of the Olympic Games. It's worth mentioning that NHL players will participate in the Olympics in Italy. For the first time since 2014, the tournament will feature the world's top hockey players.
