The National Hockey League (NHL) announced on Sunday the location where the All-Star Game festivities will take place in 2026.
In fact, the famous event will take place at the UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders. In all likelihood, the All-Star Game will take place shortly before the Winter Olympics in Milan, in which NHL players will take part.

“After an impressive All-Star Weekend earlier this month, the players look 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” of the National Hockey League Players will be. The association's executive director, Marty Walsh, said in a statement.
“The NHL All-Star Game weekend will provide an exciting start to the 2026 Winter Olympics,” he continued.
As a reminder, the Bettman Circuit will not host an All-Star Game in 2025, as the league will instead organize the 4 Nations Showdown between February 12th and 20th, 2025. Canada, the United States, Sweden and Finland will take part in this tournament.
