Scheduled for UBS Arena, the 2026 NHL® All-Star Weekend will be hosted by the New York Islanders, as announced by the National Hockey League. Further details regarding the midseason showcase, including dates, ticketing, and broadcast information, will be disclosed in the near future.
"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,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
He commended the Islanders organization, led by Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky, expressing confidence in their ability to deliver an event that will do justice to the greater New York region and the NHL.
"After an impressive All-Star Weekend earlier this month, the players are looking forward to raising the bar even further at UBS Arena in 2026 where we know the New York Islanders will be great hosts for the event," added NHLPA Executive Director Marty Walsh.
He said that the NHL All-Star Weekend will serve as a fitting prelude to the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
Islanders Majority Owner Scott Malkin expressed his gratitude for the opportunity.
"We are honored to be invited to host the National Hockey League, the game’s finest players and fans from around the world to join us in New York for the 2026 NHL All-Star Weekend," he said, emphasizing the unique experiences that attendees can expect at UBS Arena.
The 2026 NHL All-Star Weekend will mark the second time the Islanders have hosted NHL All-Star activities. The first occasion was in 1983, with the event held at Nassau Coliseum, where the Campbell Conference All-Stars triumphed over the Wales Conference All-Stars, with Wayne Gretzky earning NHL All-Star MVP honors.
