NBA Rising Stars Invitational is set to return to this June. Held at OCBC Arena this time, the action will tip off on 22 June with the finals being held on 28 June. Once again, high schools from across the Asia-Pacific who have won qualifiers in their own country will get a chance to pit their skills against the top U18 school teams in the region.
In 2025, A Division Champions Anglo-Chinese Junior College (Boys) and Hwa Chong Institution (Girls) repped the Little Red Dot on this big stage.
This year, while we await the outcome of the ongoing National Schools Games to see who will emerge champion and punch their ticket to the NBA Rising Stars Invitational, three other U18 teams have stepped up to vie for the second spot in this tournament. As the host country, Singapore gets to send two teams from each gender to take part.
The non-A Division teams vying for the second slot are:
| Boys | Girls | |
| 1 | ITE | ITE |
| 2 | Nanyang Polytechnic | Nanyang Polytechnic |
| 3 | UWC Dover | UWC East |
UWC Dover have already had a taste of what is like to compete in such as arena, being the second boys team to represent Singapore in 2025’s edition of this tournament. Will the juniors who haven’t graduated be able to head back to the stage and take care of unfinished business from last year?
Find out as these teams match up on 4, 8 and 11 May, 2026 at the Singapore Basketball Centre.
Girls game starts at 7.30pm and boys games starts at 9pm. Admission is free.
