The 2026 Slam Dunk Contest at the NBA's All-Star Weekend is always a sight to behold. The event, held on All-Star Saturday, will be the last in a night of exciting competitions, including the 3-point contest and the Shooting Stars competition, and this time around, we're guaranteed to have a new dunk champion. (Mac McClung, who has won for three years running, has opted out this year.) The four competitors this year will be the San Antonio Spurs forward Carter Bryant, Miami Heat forward Keshad Johnson, Orlando Magic guard Jase Richardson, and L.A. Lakers center Jaxson Hayes.
The slam dunk contest will close out the All-Star Saturday broadcast, which begins at 5 p.m. ET on NBC and streams live on Peacock. Find out more about how to watch Saturday's slam dunk contest and get the full NBA All-Star Weekend schedule below.
