UBS Arena, Islanders To Host 2026 NHL All-Star Weekend

ELMONT, NY — The NHL All-Star Game is coming to the UBS Arena.

The league announced Sunday that the Islanders will host the 2026 All-Star Weekend. Details about the specific dates and ticket information will be released at a later date.

"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," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. "We have been looking forward to UBS Arena playing host to one of our major League events since before construction of this wonderful arena began."

This marks the second time the All-Star Game is on Long Island. The Isles host the 1983 midseason classic at the Nassau Coliseum.

UBS Arena opened in 2021.

"Whether our guests will be watching the talented players on the ice in UBS Arena, a building built specifically for hockey, shopping in Belmont Park Village or enjoying pre and post-game festivities in The Park, the 2026 All-Star weekend will show NHL fans the outstanding destination we have for hockey, shopping and entertainment," Islanders Majority Owner Scott Malkin said.

The game will be a lead-in to the 2026 Winter Olympics.
