The 2026 All-Star Game will be the 69th in NHL history. The League will not hold an All-Star Game next year because of the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off next season, a tournament featuring the United States, Canada, Sweden and Finland taking place Feb. 12-20.

All-Star Weekend at UBS Arena will be played in advance of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, where NHL players will be competing for the first time since the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Bettman said at All-Star Weekend in Toronto on Feb. 2 that the League plans on "using the All-Star Game [in 2026] as a sendoff to the Olympics," meaning the players who will be competing in both will leave from New York to go to Milan.

"After an impressive All-Star Weekend earlier this month, the players are looking forward to raising the bar even higher at UBS Arena in 2026 where we know the New York Islanders will be great hosts for the event," NHL Players' Association Executive Director Marty Walsh said. "The NHL All-Star Weekend will be an exciting lead-in to the 2026 Olympic Winter Games."
