The game will begin at 6:30pm local time in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tip-off is scheduled for 1:30am Monday morning UK time. Here is all you need to know about the 2023 All-Star Game - including who is taking part: What time does the All-Star Game tip-off? This year's All-Star Game will be the fourth to use the target score - the score of the leading team after the third quarter, plus 24 points - and the fourth quarter will be played without a game clock as both sides aim to reach that specific number.
However, there is a fun twist for 2023: this will be the first year where the draft will take place just moments before the start of the game as a live segment. This will be the sixth consecutive year in which the All-Star Game utilises a ‘draft’ format, in which each conference's highest voted player - James for the Western Conference and Antetokounmpo for the Eastern Conference - serves as captain and drafts a roster from the remaining 22 players.
