The B. League All-Star Game will be played on Jan. 15 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, the first-year professional men's circuit announced on Tuesday.

The contest tips off at 6:05 p.m. and will be broadcast on NHK BS1, SkyPerfecTV and Sportsnavi Live.

Chairman Masaaki Okawa expects that the game will help promote the league to a wider audience, just as it did with its tipoff series between the Alvark Tokyo and Ryukyu Golden Kings at the same venue in late September.
