The 2026 McDonald’s All American Game will take place on March 31 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, the first time the event has been held in the Phoenix area. The rosters, announced Monday, feature 48 of the nation’s top high school seniors, 24 girls and 24 boys, split into East and West squads.
Event Details and Broadcast Information
The 49th annual McDonald’s All American Games will be held in a market that has produced McDonald’s All American alumni including Skylar Diggins, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Richard Jefferson, and Aaron Gordon.
The girls game tips off at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, followed by the boys game at 9 p.m. ET. The Sprite Jam Fest, featuring a 3-point contest, dunk competition, and skills challenge, takes place March 30 at Millennium High School and will air on ESPN2 at 9:30 p.m. ET.
Boys Roster: Eight Players Remain Uncommitted
No. 1 Prospect Tyran Stokes Leads Uncommitted Group
Top-ranked senior Tyran Stokes headlines the boys roster, which features 17 of the top 20 prospects in the 2026 class. Stokes, a 6-foot-8 small forward at Rainier Beach High School (Wash.), leads a group of eight players who remain uncommitted. That is double the number of uncommitted players at the time the 2025 rosters were announced.
Five of the top seven players in the game have not made their college decisions. In addition to Stokes, the uncommitted group includes Jordan Smith Jr. (No. 3), Caleb Holt (No. 5), Bruce Branch III (No. 6), and Christian Collins (No. 8).
The McDonald’s All American Game has produced 33 No. 1 overall NBA draft picks, including Cooper Flagg in 2025. The top three players in the 2025 class, AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cameron Boozer, all played in last year’s game, with Peterson and Boozer sharing MVP honors.
Archbishop Stepinac Produces Three Selections
Archbishop Stepinac (N.Y.) produced three McDonald’s All Americans on the boys side, the most of any high school in either field. Twin brothers Adonis Ratliff (No. 10 nationally) and Darius Ratliff (No. 26 nationally), both 7-foot centers signed with USC, are joined by teammate Jasiah Jervis (No. 31 nationally, signed with Michigan State).
The Ratliff brothers’ father, Theo Ratliff, played 16 seasons in the NBA. Jaxon Richardson, son of former NBA guard Jason Richardson, was also named to the East roster.
Duke, Missouri, and USC Each Sign Two Selections
Duke signed two players from the roster: No. 2 prospect Cameron Williams, a 6-foot-11 forward, and Deron Rippey Jr. (No. 16). The Blue Devils continue to recruit Jordan Smith Jr., who will play alongside Rippey on the East roster. Stokes and Williams, the top two players in the class, are teammates on the West roster.
Missouri secured commitments from Jason Crowe Jr. (No. 4) and Toni Bryant (No. 14). USC signed the Ratliff twins.
