NBA All-Star voting

NBA All-Star Voting presented by AT&TThe NBA’s official wireless 5G network, announced on Thursday, December 19 at 10 a.m. ET and ends Monday, January 20 at 11:59 p.m. ET, allowing fans to vote for NBA All-Star Game Starters via the NBA app and NBA.com with their NBA ID.

NBA ID, which offers fans benefits and rewards from the league and its partners, is free to join here. Voters in the United States will be automatically entered into the NBA ID All-Star Voting Sweepstakes presented by AT&T for the chance to win a trip to the San Francisco Bay Area for the 2025 NBA All-Star.

During the voting period, NBA ID members may submit one full ballot each day via the NBA app and the NBA.com voting page (NBA.com/vote). A full ballot consists of three frontcourt players and two guards from both the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. All current NBA players will be available for selection.

On six special “3-to-1 days,” NBA ID members’ votes will count three times. These days, from 12:01 PM ET – 11:59 PM ET, will take place on Saturday, December 21, Wednesday, December 25, Friday, January 3, Friday, January 10, Friday, January 17, and Monday, 20 January (last day of voting).

Fan poll updates will be shared on the first three Thursdays in January (January 2nd, 9th, and 16th). TNT will reveal the NBA All-Star Game starters on Thursday, January 23rd and the reserves on Thursday, January 30th.

Current NBA players and a media panel will continue to join fans in selecting NBA All-Star Game starters. Each player and media member will be able to complete one full vote during the voting period.

Once all votes for NBA All-Star Game starters are tallied, players will be ranked in each conference by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan vote, player vote and media vote. Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging his weighted rank from the fan votes, player votes and media votes. The top two guards and three frontcourt players in each conference will be named NBA All-Star Game starters. Fan voting will act as a tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.
