About Basketball Stars 2026
Basketball Stars 2026 is a fresh edition of the MadPuffers hoops game, timed for the 2025 season. Every match is a quick one-on-one duel: choose a team, then outscore your rival with jumpers, dunks and long threes before the clock runs out.
The physical side is what keeps it lively. You can block shots, slap the ball loose and dash past a defender, while a super shot meter fills up above the action and, once full, lets you score from anywhere on the court. Take on a tournament against the computer, or share one keyboard with a friend for head-to-head games.
How to play Basketball Stars 2026
- WASD or arrow keys - move and jump
- X or L - shoot or steal, S - pump fake or block
- Double-tap left or right - dash, K or Z - super shot
- Two players: WASD with B to shoot, arrows with L to shoot
Playing Basketball Stars 2026 on a computer
Hit Play now, click PLAY when the distributor's screen appears and wait out any brief ad. Solo, move with WASD or the arrows, shoot or steal with X or L, and pump fake or block with S. Double-tap a direction to dash, and keep K or Z for the super shot. In two-player games the left player shoots with B, the right with L. A pump fake before a jumper can bait a wasted block.
Playing Basketball Stars 2026 on a phone or tablet
Dashing takes a quick double press, and shooting, blocking and the super shot each live on their own key, so this one-on-one game depends on a physical keyboard. No touch controls have been verified. Play on a computer or Chromebook, especially for two-player matches, and on a phone stick to titles tagged "Desktop and mobile".

Tips and tricks
- Hold the super shot for tight moments, since it scores from anywhere once the bar is full.
- Pump fake to draw a block, then dash past your defender for an open dunk.
- On defense, stay between your opponent and the hoop so you can block or slap the ball away.
