Hey, hoops fans: Want to see next season’s college basketball stars a year early?
Yes, you say? Of course you do.
Good news: High school basketball’s top players from the 2025-26 season will be showcased during the 2026 McDonald’s All-American Games on Tuesday, March 31.
This will get you through the basketball gap between the Elite Eight and the Final Four (Indianapolis, April 4-6).
Phoenix will host 48 of the nation’s elite players — 24 boys and 24 girls will battle in the classic East vs. West formats.
In addition to the games, events include the Sprite Jam Fest, 3-Point Contest, Slam Dunk Contest, and a knockout game.
The three-day event (March 29-31) is your chance to become familiar with many players who likely will be a part of next year’s March Madness.
So get to know these household names now as you witness college basketball’s future.

Last year’s McDonald’s All-American boys’ game featured Cameron Boozer (Duke), AJ Dybantsa (BYU), Darryn Peterson (Kansas), and Darius Acuff Jr. (Arkansas), among others, while the girls’ game spotlighted Jasmine “Jazzy” Davidson (USC), Sienna Betts (UCLA), Aaliyah Chavez (Oklahoma), and Grace Knox (LSU).
Watching this year’s boys game, fans might be doing a double-take when they see 7-foot twin brothers and USC recruits Darious and Adonis Ratliff. For the girls, Kate Harpring (North Carolina), the daughter of former NBA player Matt Harpring, is one to watch along with South Carolina recruit Jerzy Robinson.
