Notes
The 2022 NBA All-Star Game was the first All-Star Game since 2000 (then aired on NBC ) to not be called by Marv Albert , as he retired at the end of the 2020–21 NBA season .[ 13] The game was televised nationally in the United States by TNT .[ 14] Sister network TBS carried an alternate feed, Inside the All-Star Game , which featured a conversational presentation of the game featuring the Inside the NBA panel of Charles Barkley , Ernie Johnson , Shaquille O'Neal , and Kenny Smith , with guests such as Draymond Green . Coaches, referees, and selected players also wore microphones.[ 15] In Canada, the game was televised nationally by Sportsnet .[ 16]
The 2021 NBA All-Star Game was broadcast by TNT for the 19th consecutive year. The game was seen by 5.94 million viewers, an 18% decrease over 2020 and the least-watched All-Star Game overall, but it beat CBS 's Oprah with Meghan and Harry special in key demographic audience share. [ 17] [ 18] Additionally, this was the final NBA All-Star Game to ever be called by Marv Albert , as he announced his retirement from broadcasting following the 2021 Playoffs .
The 2020 game was televised nationally by TNT for the 18th consecutive year,[ 23] and simulcast by TBS for the 6th consecutive year. After airing a “Players Only” broadcast a year ago, TBS returned to simulcasting TNT's coverage, after the “Players Only” brand was canceled by the NBA and Turner Sports.
Beginning with the 2026 game , NBC took over rights to the NBA All-Star Game. The 2026 game will mark the first time since 2002 (also previously aired on NBC) that the All-Star Game was broadcast on network television.[ 24]
