EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Islanders will host the 2026 NHL All-Star Game at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, the NHL announced Sunday.
The dates and times for NHL All-Star Weekend will be announced at a later date, the League said.
“The National Hockey League is thrilled to have the best and brightest of our game hosted at the spectacular UBS Arena for the 2026 NHL All-Star Weekend,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We have been looking forward to UBS Arena playing host to one of our major League events since before construction of this wonderful arena began. We have every confidence that the Islanders organization, led by (co-owners) Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky, will deliver a celebration that will make the greater New York region and the NHL proud.”
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.
