The NBA has unveiled the official rosters for the 2026 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, bringing together stars from music, film, television, and sports for one of All-Star Weekend’s most anticipated showcase events.
The Celebrity Game will take place on Saturday, February 14, tipping off at 8:00 a.m. Philippine Time from the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, and will stream live—and on replay—exclusively on Disney+ in the Philippines.
Blending pop culture and basketball, the annual exhibition once again anchors the entertainment side of NBA All-Star Weekend.

This year’s lineup features a wide mix of global entertainers, athletes, and creators. Confirmed participants include actor and producer Keegan-Michael Key, rapper and producer Mustard, multi-platinum rapper GloRilla, Indian music icon Badshah, NBA champion Jeremy Lin, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania, NFL standouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Keenan Allen, Brazilian football legend Cafu, and Dude Perfect co-founder Cody Jones.
Also joining the game are social media creators Jenna Bandy and Adrien Nuñez, former NBA center Tacko Fall, Phoenix Suns governor Mat Ishbia, and Charlotte Hornets co-chairman Rick Schnall, alongside reality TV and entertainment personalities from ABC, Hulu, and international media.
Returning players include reigning Celebrity Game MVP Rome Flynn, Marvel star Simu Liu, Olympic sprinting medalist Andre De Grasse, Chinese actor and singer Dylan Wang, and NBA champion Jason “White Chocolate” Williams.
