What is Courtside Live and how can it enhance the way you stream the 2026 NBA All-Star Game? It’s an all-new NBA viewing experience for TV and mobile that brings fans right into the event’s Intuit Dome arena. 

Featuring key plays, player spotlights, alternate viewing angles and more, Courtside Live will debut during this year’s NBA All-Star Game on February 15 at 5 p.m. ET, before rolling out for more select NBA games throughout the rest of the regular season. 

On mobile, Courtside Live viewers can navigate between a selection of curated feeds of alternate game angles. On TV and online, Courtside Live will show those same available angles in a “Multiview” experience — all while never missing a beat from the main broadcast.

Catching the action from fresh new perspectives is only part of the immersive experience that Courtside Live has to offer. During live NBA games, fans can navigate between Courtside Live’s “Star Spotlight” feature, which quickly lets viewers highlight standout players on the court. The “Home Team” and “Away Team” features offer views that will put the focus on each team’s bench, so fans can catch players’ reactions as they happen!

On top of that, Courtside Live delivers a “Hot Highlights” feature that curates big moments from the game, while also dropping in for a peek at how the crowd is reacting. Both on the court and around the arena, “Hot Highlights” dials in on the key in-game plays and the energized fan culture that defines the league at its best — from inside-the-tunnel looks to star interviews to celebrity fans in the stands and much more.

Peacock is the streaming-exclusive home for NBC Sports’ tipoff coverage of NBA All-Star Weekend, which begins Friday, February 13 with streaming-only coverage of the Castrol Rising Stars game (9 p.m. ET), followed by the NBA HBCU Classic game between the Hampton University Pirates and North Carolina A&T Aggies men’s basketball teams (11 p.m. ET). 

Both of Friday’s events will stream live exclusively on Peacock, before the NBA All-Star action extends to both NBC and Peacock on Saturday, February 14 and Sunday, February 15. 

Beginning live at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 14, NBA All-Star Saturday is filled with fan-favorite friendly competition between the game’s biggest names, including the Shooting Stars, 3-Point, and Slam Dunk contests. Then on Sunday, February 15 at 5 p.m. ET, the 75th NBA All-Star Game will tip off live with its new “U.S. vs. World” mini-tournament format, as three teams filled with this year’s All-Star selections battle it out for ultimate NBA bragging rights. 

Alongside returning features (like Peacock ScoreCard and Live in Browse) that are already part of Peacock’s NBA viewing experience, viewers can enjoy unprecedented access to the athletes, crowds, and culture of the world’s premiere athletic events during NBC Sports’ Legendary February and beyond. From game-changing key plays at Super Bowl LX to the Winter Olympic Games and all through the rest of the NBA regular season, it’s never been easier to get immersed in the action — no matter whether you’re streaming at home on your TV or dropping in for a quick mobile-device peek while on the go.
